Basler

Set up Basler (GigE/USB3) cameras with pylon and AugeLab Studio.

Basler cameras typically connect via GigE or USB3. The recommended approach is always the same: verify the camera in Basler pylon Viewer first, then connect it in AugeLab Studio.

Quick start

  1. Install Basler pylon on the PC.

  2. Verify live view in pylon Viewer.

  3. (GigE) Put the camera and PC on the same subnet and set a stable IP.

  4. Open AugeLab Studio and use the Basler Camera block.

Requirements

  • Basler camera (GigE or USB3)

  • Power (external power supply or PoE, depending on model)

  • For GigE: Ethernet cable and a GigE-capable network adapter (a switch is optional)

Setup (GigE recommended steps)

  1. Connect and power the camera.

  2. Install Basler pylon (includes pylon Viewer): https://www.baslerweb.com/en/downloads/software-downloads/

  3. Open pylon Viewer and confirm you can:

    • See the camera in the device list

    • Start acquisition and view a live image

  4. In pylon Viewer (or the pylon IP tool), set a static IP that matches your PC subnet (example: PC 192.168.0.10, camera 192.168.0.20).

  5. If AugeLab Studio asks for Destination Address, enter the computer's Ethernet/IP address, not the camera IP. This is usually the PC address on the same network, for example 192.168.0.10.

  6. Open AugeLab Studio and add the Basler Camera block. Select your camera and start acquisition.

Installing Python dependencies (only if needed)

Most AugeLab Studio installations already include the Basler Python bindings (pypylon). If your Basler block reports a missing dependency, install it via the Package Window:

Troubleshooting

  • Camera visible in pylon Viewer but not in Studio: close pylon Viewer; only one app can usually hold the camera at a time.

  • Camera not visible on GigE: check that PC and camera are on the same subnet; disable VPN adapters and verify Windows firewall rules. If needed, set Destination Address to the computer's Ethernet/IP address.

  • Drops / stutter: use a direct connection or a quality switch; prefer a dedicated NIC and avoid congested networks.

If you still can’t stream a stable image, contact info@augelab.com with your camera model and a screenshot from pylon Viewer.
