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 options available with the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite let you change parameters and
control the camera by using a stand-alone GUI (known as the pylon Viewer) or by accessing the
camera from within your software application using the driver API.

Suite
The Basler pylon 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 interface. It will also
