3 Tools for Changing Camera
Parameters
This section explains the options available for changing the camera’s parameters. The available
options let you change parameters either by using stand-alone tools that access the camera via a
GUI or by accessing the camera from within your software application.
3.1 The pylon Viewer
The Basler pylon Viewer is a standalone application that lets you view and change most of the
camera’s parameter settings via a GUI based interface. The viewer also lets you acquire images,
display them, and save them. Using the pylon Viewer software is a very convenient way to get your
camera up and running quickly when you are doing your initial camera evaluation or doing a camera
design-in for a new project.
The pylon Viewer is included in Basler’s pylon Driver Package. You can download the pylon
package from the Basler website: www.baslerweb.com/beitraege/beitrag_en_71708.html.
For more information about using the viewer, see the installation and Setup Guide for Cameras
Used with Basler’s pylon API, (AW000611xx000). You can download the guide from the Basler
website: www.baslerweb.com/indizes/download_index_en_19627.html.
3.2 The IP Configuration Tool
The Basler IP Configuration Tool is a standalone application that lets you change the IP
configuration of the camera via a GUI. The tool will detect all Basler GigE cameras attached to your
network and let you make changes to a selected camera.
The IP Configuration Tool is included in Basler’s pylon Driver Package. You can download the pylon
package from the Basler website: www.baslerweb.com/beitraege/beitrag_en_71708.html.
