3.1.1

The pylon Viewer

The pylon Viewer is included in the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite. The pylon Viewer is a
standalone application that lets you view and change most of the camera's parameter settings via
a GUI-based interface. The pylon Viewer also lets you acquire images, display them, and save
them. Using the pylon Viewer is a very convenient way to get your camera up and running quickly
when you are doing your initial camera evaluation or doing a camera design-in for a new project.
For more information about using the pylon Viewer, see the Installation and Setup Guide for
Cameras Used with the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite (AW000611xx000).

The pylon USB Configurator

The pylon USB Configurator is included in the Basler pylon 4 Camera Software Suite besides the
Basler pylon IP Configurator and the Basler pylon Camera Link Configurator. The pylon USB
Configurator is a standalone application. It allows you to obtain information about the architecture
of the device tree to which your camera is connected, and about the devices, including your camera.
The pylon USB Configurator also allows you to automatically generate support information for
Basler technical support (for more information about automatically generating support information,
