4.1 Getting Started with the pylon Viewer
In this section, we introduce using the pylon viewer to adjust the camera's parameters. One of the
main objectives of this section is to familiarize you with how three particular settings, gain, black
level, and exposure time, impact image quality.
Note that when the camera is switched on, automatic gain and automatic exposure time control are
both enabled. As part of this procedure, we will disable automatic gain and exposure time control.
This will let you adjust the gain and exposure time "manually".
When your camera comes from the factory, it is set up so that the auto gain, auto
exposure, and auto white balance (on color cameras) will become enabled
whenever the camera is switched on or reset. If desired, you can change this
behavior by modifying the camera's configurations sets. See the camera user's
manual for detailed information about auto functions and about configuration sets.
1. To start the pylon Viewer, double click on the Pylon Viewer icon on your desktop The pylon
