Camera driver software

This filter is intended to cooperate with camera using its vendor SDK. To be able to connect with camera it is required to install Pylon SDK software with camera dedicated drivers.

Pylon SDK can be downloaded from following website: http://www.baslerweb.com/ (registration may be required).

Recommended Pylon SDK version for Adaptive Vision Studio usage is 2.3.4.

Camera identification

When there is only one camera connected with computer field inCameraID can be set to Auto. In this situation first available camera will be found and connected.

inCameraID field can be used to pick one of multiple cameras connected to computer. CameraID can be set to:

• Serial number - should be specified on device casing, for example "12345678".
• User ID - textual name specied by user and saved in device memory. To set device user ID use configuration tool available with Pylon SDK.
• Device full name - option designed for advanced users.

Camera parameters

Setting inAoi parameter to 'Auto' will select maximum possible camera frame size.

All other parameters exposed by camera filters are optional, setting them to 'Auto' leaves related parameter unchanged in camera (device default or user set configuration).

To change other and more advanced camera parameters use configuration tool "Pylon Viewer" available with Pylon SDK. Refer to SDK documentation to find information about parameters and how to create user parameters sets.
