Software Installation
3.2 Configuring the Camera Link Serial Port
To communicate with the aviator camera, the pylon software uses a serial port that is built into the
Camera Link interface on your frame grabber. Before pylon can communicate with the camera, you
must configure the serial port.
To configure the Camera Link serial port:
1. Click Start > All Programs > Basler Vision Technologies > Pylon 2.2 > Pylon CL Configuration
Tool.
2. A CL Configurator window will open as shown below.
A list of ports that are supported by the Camera Link interface will be displayed in the window.
3. Determine which port(s) pylon will use to look for devices. Usually, this will be the port that is
built into the frame grabber. For the port on the frame grabber, you will typically see the name
of the frame grabber manufacturer included as part of the port name. In the example shown
below, we are using a frame grabber from the "Acme" company, and "Acme" is included as part
of the port name.
Check the port that you want to use as shown below.
