Camera Drivers and Tools for Changing Camera Parameters  

Basler ace USB 3.0

45

For more information about using the pylon USB Configurator, see the 

Installation and Setup Guide 

for Cameras Used with the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite

 (AW000611).

3.1.3

The pylon SDK

After the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite has been installed on your PC, you can access all 
of the camera’s parameters and can control the camera’s full functionality from within your 
application software by using the pylon API. The pylon Programmer’s Guide and the pylon API 
Reference contain an introduction to the API and include information about all of the methods and 
objects included in the API. The programmer’s guide and API reference are included in the Basler 
pylon 4 Camera Software Suite.

The Basler pylon SDK includes a set of sample programs that illustrate how to use the pylon API to 
parameterize and operate the camera. These samples include Microsoft® Visual Studio® solution 
and project files demonstrating how to set up the build environment to build applications based on 
the API.
