Uncovering hidden problems in the vision system

The performance of a machine vision system is based on the precise interaction between vision components, peripheral devices, and software. These complex processes must function smoothly, otherwise this can significantly affect the overall performance of the system. However, identifying the exact cause of a problem is often far from easy.

Why is the image not captured as expected?
Where exactly does the system latency occur?
Why do errors only occur under certain conditions?
What causes synchronization errors in the system?

Comprehensive system optimization over the entire life cycle

The pylon Event Logger is an integrated tool that is started with the pylon development environment or in the frame grabber SDK. It supports the entire life cycle of a vision system - from development to maintenance - by precisely logging all system events. Especially in performance systems or multi-camera systems, it is important to be able to control all components and their triggers.

Main functions of the pylon Event Logger

The pylon Event Logger is an indispensable tool for monitoring interactions within image processing systems. It uses precise time stamps to track individual processes sequentially and measure execution times. The tool measures latencies very accurately as well as detecting and displaying logical errors and performance problems. The pylon Event Logger is particularly effective in identifying problems such as overflows, camera interruptions, and missed triggers - providing valuable insights when faults occur.
