7.1 Acquiring Your First Images
The easiest way to acquire your first images is to use the pylon Viewer software that was installed
earlier with the pylon Camera Software Suite.
1. Put an object within the camera’s field of view and make sure that the object is well illuminated.
2. Double-click the pylon Viewer icon on your desktop.
The pylon Viewer will open as shown below and you should see an entry in the Devices pane
for your camera.
