Basler pylon 2.0 now supports GigE line scan cameras

Basler Vision Technologies has extended its pylon driver software package by adding line scan camera support. This driver software package has been used very successfully with Basler area scan cameras for more than a year, and it greatly simplifies the integration of cameras into applications. With this update, customers can use Basler's new runner cameras to easily capture 2k pixel lines at rates up to 57 kHz and to transmit the pixel data over distances up to 100 meters.

Basler pylon is based on the GenICam standard. The driver core can automatically interpret the properties of a GenICam compatible camera and provide a C++ Camera API to an application without the need for additional configuration. The ease of use for Basler's new line scan cameras now rivals the traditional ease associated with Basler area scan cameras.

Basler pylon 2.0 also improves support for the IEEE 1394 interface. A new driver allows the full S800 transmission speed on all Windows™ systems without making OS modifications. In addition, it supports Windows 64 bit systems with up to 16 GB of memory.
Installation processes that run in the background for each included driver and for the pylon Viewer, round off the pylon 2.0 package. The pylon Viewer application supports GigE and IEEE 1394 cameras and provides users with a convenient method to test Basler cameras and integrate them into their applications.

Basler Components designs and manufactures advanced vision components for industrial users. Products include color and monochrome line scan, area scan, and intelligent area scan digital cameras ideal for high-speed and/or high-resolution applications. Product designs are driven by industry requirements and offer easy interfacing, compact size, and a strong price/performance ratio.
