3.3 The pylon API
You can access all of the camera’s parameters and can control the camera’s full functionality from
within your application software by using Basler’s pylon API. The Basler pylon Programmer’s Guide
and API Reference contains an introduction to the API and includes information about all of the
methods and objects included in the API.
The Basler pylon Software Development Kit (SDK) includes a set of sample programs that illustrate
how to use the pylon API to parameterize and operate the camera. These samples include

Visual Studio

solution and project files demonstrating how to set up the build
environment to build applications based on the API.
The SDK 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.
