3 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 API.
3.1 The Basler pylon Camera Software
Suite
The Basler pylon Camera Software Suite is designed for use with all Basler cameras with the
following interface types: IEEE 1394a interface, IEEE 1394b, GigE, or USB 3.0. It can also be used
with newer Camera Link cameras. The pylon Camera Software Suite offers reliable, real-time image
data transport into the memory of your PC at a very low CPU load.
