Acquiring Your First Images
To Get a First Look at the Acquired Images
1. If you have not already done so, mount the camera in your test setup. The test setup should
mimic as much as possible the way that you intend to use the camera in your system.
2. Make sure that your frame grabber has the proper "camera file" installed (see Section 1.2.2 on
page 3).
3. Make sure that the object your are viewing is properly illuminated. If you need assistance in
determining the optimum illumination for your application, contact Basler technical support.
The contact numbers appear in the title pages of this manual.
4. Start the viewing software that is included with your frame grabber and make sure that you can
view acquired images.
You will probably need to focus the lens and you may need to adjust the lens aperture to obtain
reasonable quality images at this point.
On some systems, you will not be able to operate your frame grabber's image
viewing software and the Basler pylon viewer at the same time. If you see errors
when you try to use both at the same time, then you will need to close the
grabber's image viewing software when you are using the pylon Viewer and close
the pylon Viewer when you are using the grabber's image viewing software.
