pEL (pylon Event Logger)

A precision event logging solution for highly reliable machine vision system operation

pylon Event Logger (pEL) is an event logging solution that tracks and analyzes all events in a machine vision system to support system optimization and troubleshooting. It records and visualizes all activities of the frame grabber and camera, enabling rapid identification of hidden system issues.

  • A 360° view of all system events

    Tracking every component from frame grabber to camera
  • Precise timestamp analysis down to the millisecond

    Latency measurement and logical error detection
  • Intuitive graphical timeline

    Visualization of complex event sequences
  • Advanced filtering and search

    Quick access to relevant information

Identify Hidden Issues and Optimize Performance in Your Machine Vision System

A machine vision system relies on precise interactions between image acquisition components, peripheral devices, and image processing software. When these complex interactions fail to function smoothly, it can severely impact overall system performance. Yet pinpointing the exact source of a problem is often far from straightforward.

  • Why isn’t the image being captured as expected?

  • Where exactly is the system latency occurring?

  • Why do errors appear only under certain conditions?

  • What is causing synchronization failures in the system?


pEL: An Essential Tool for System Optimization and Troubleshooting

pEL is an integrated tool that launches with pylon development environment or Framegrabber SDK, supporting the entire lifecycle of a machine vision system—from development to maintenance.
