The Pylon Camera Software Suite includes:

> Pylon Viewer for configuring cameras, viewing and saving images, and recording live video

> USB Configurator for optimizing and troubleshooting USB cameras

> IP Configurator for optimizing and troubleshooting GigE cameras

> SDK for software developers

> vTools for quickly configuring image processing tasks

This unified suite supports nearly all Basler cameras including the ace, ace2, aviator, beat, dart, pilot, pulse, scout, runner, racer and boost. Pylon can be used to configure Basler Camera Link cameras, but does not support image acquisition over this interface.

Basler cameras are built on today’s interface standards: GenICam, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, Camera Link, CoaXPress 2.0, and BCON for MIPI. The cameras are therefore compatible with most third-party hardware and software components running on all popular platforms. Pylon also includes adapters for interfacing with software that supports GenICam GenTL, DirectShow and TWAIN. And there is an open-source projects for the Robot Operating System, Python development, and GStreamer.

Basler pylon Viewer is a quick way to configure and test a camera. pylon offers complete access to all camera settings. And pylon Viewer and the associated SDK are free. Many volume customers therefore choose to use the Basler pylon API to communicate with Basler cameras.
