简介#
The supplementary package contains the following:
- GenICam GenTL-compliant GenTL producer for blaze cameras
- pylon blaze 相机的 C++ 即时相机类
- pylon blaze 相机的 .NET 参数列表
- blaze 特定 C++、C#、VB 和 Python 编程示例
- MVTec HALCON 的示例脚本
- Linux only: Robot Operating System (ROS 1) driver for blaze cameras
(You can download the ROS 2 driver from GitHub.)
This guide provides information specific to Basler blaze cameras as these cameras aren't covered by the programmer's guides included in the pylon Software Suite.
To get familiar with the pylon APIs, refer to the following documents included in the pylon Software Suite:
An offline version is available in the pylon installation folder: C:\Program Files\Basler\pylon\Documentation\Current. Click start.htm to open the documentation.
To get familiar with the pylon C++ API refer to the pylon C++ Programmer's Guide.
Refer to the Time-of-Flight Cameras section for more information about how to operate a Basler blaze camera and use its features.
pylon vs. Basler blaze SDK
The pylon Software Suite and the pylon Supplementary Package for blaze replace the Basler blaze SDK. Although the Basler blaze SDK will continue to be available to allow users to maintain existing applications, Basler strongly recommends using the pylon Supplementary Package for blaze for developing new applications.
Tools for blaze Cameras#
pylon IP Configurator#
Use the pylon IP Configurator for checking and changing the IP configuration of blaze cameras.
To start the pylon IP Configurator, press the Win key, go to the Basler folder, and select pylon IP Configurator.
Press the Win key, type pylon IP, and click the pylon IP Configurator icon in the search results.
Start the IP configuration tool by issuing the following command:
/opt/pylon/bin/ipconfigurator
Alternatively, you can start the pylon IP Configurator from within the blaze Viewer by clicking Tools > pylon IP Configurator.
For more details about how to adjust network settings, refer to the Network Configuration topic.
blaze 查看器#
The blaze Viewer provides a graphical user interface for viewing and configuring the camera's features and visualizing the available streaming formats. It also allows you to quickly save images.
To start the blaze Viewer, press the Win key, go to the Basler folder and select blaze Viewer.
If running the blaze Viewer fails due to problems with OpenGL, choose the blaze Viewer (no hardware acceleration) instead.
Press the Win key, type blaze, and click the blaze Viewer icon in the search results.
Start the blaze Viewer by issuing the following command:
/opt/pylon/bin/blazeViewer
If the blaze Viewer doesn't find the camera(s) you expect to be found, use the pylon IP Configurator to check and adjust the camera's IP address configuration.
Diagnostic Tools#
blaze Lister#
The blaze Lister is a command-line tool that searches for connected blaze cameras and prints out information about the devices found, including their firmware versions.
To start the blaze Lister, press the Win key, go to the Basler folder, and select blaze Lister.
Press the Win key, type blaze, and click the blaze Lister icon in the search results.
Start the blaze Lister by issuing the following command:
/opt/pylon/bin/blazeLister
Quit the tool by pressing Enter.
If the blaze Lister doesn't list the camera(s) you expect to be listed, use the pylon IP Configurator to check and adjust the camera's IP address configuration.
blaze Test#
The blaze Test application is a command-line tool that continuously captures data from the first blaze camera the tool finds.
Every 10 seconds the tool prints the number of images grabbed and the stream statistics.
You can use this tool to check the network configuration. If you get incomplete frames, which are indicated by increasing values of error count, failed packet count, and resend packet count, check your network configuration.
To start the blaze Test application, press the Win key, go to the Basler folder, and select blaze Test.
Press the Win key, type blaze, and click the blaze Test icon in the search results.
Start the blaze Test application by issuing the following command:
/opt/pylon/bin/blazeTest
Quit the tool by pressing Ctrl+C.
blaze Feature Dumper#
The blaze Feature Dumper is a command-line tool that connects to the first available blaze camera and prints out a list of camera parameters and detailed information about the parameters.
To start the blaze Feature Dumper, press the Win key, go to the Basler folder, and select blaze Feature Dumper.
Press the Win key, type blaze and click the blaze Feature Dumper icon in the search results.
Start the blaze Feature Dumper by issuing the following command:
/opt/pylon/bin/blazeFeatureDumper
Quit the tool by pressing Enter.
