3 Camera Drivers and Tools for
Changing Camera Parameters
This chapter provides an overview of the camera drivers and the options available for changing the
camera’s parameters. The camera requires the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite or a higher
version.
The options available with the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite let you change parameters
and control the camera by using a stand-alone GUI (known as the Basler pylon Viewer) or by
accessing the camera from within your software application using the Basler pylon API. In addition,
the pylon USB Configurator allows you to obtain information about the architecture of the device
tree to which your camera is connected and about the devices, including your camera.
You can obtain the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite from our website by using this link:

To help you install the software, you can also download the Quick Installation Guide for USB 3.0
Cameras (AW001235xx000) from the website.
3.1 The Basler pylon 4 Camera Software
Suite
The Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite is designed to operate all Basler cameras that have an
IEEE 1394a interface, an IEEE 1394b interface, a GigE interface or a USB 3.0 interface. It will also
operate some newer Basler camera models with a Camera Link interface. The pylon drivers offer
reliable, real-time image data transport into the memory of your PC at a very low CPU load.
