Basler Offers pylon Driver SDK for Free
Ahrensburg, 20 November 2008 – Basler Vision Technologies is now offering the full pylon Software Development Kit (SDK) for free. It can be downloaded from the Basler Website.
“Free download via the web will replace all distribution methods we used in the past,” explains Werner Borchert, Product Manager at Basler Components. “We have constantly increased the speed and efficiency of our development cycle without losing any of pylon’s well-known high quality. By making the pylon SDK freely available, everyone can now immediately benefit from new developments and improvements in the driver as soon as they are released.”
The pylon Driver operates with all Basler GigE Vision and IEEE 1394 area scan and line scan cameras. The driver's full compatibility with the GenICam standard provides the benefit of a unified C++ camera API for both area and line scan cameras. Due to a generic design approach, the driver makes new camera features such as the I/O Debouncer or Auto-Exposure immediately accessible without the need for a software update.
The pylon driver can operate on Windows or Linux Systems in either 32 or 64 bit versions. The included pylon Viewer application provides a quick and convenient way to test and evaluate Basler cameras. An MS DirectShow adapter and a Twain adapter allow simple integration into a wide array of third part standards-compliant software. Comprehensive documentation and more than 100 code samples quickly guide users to their first application results.
