Corrections#

  • [345509] Fixed an issue where command parameters weren't returned by the GetParameterNames command.

Restrictions#

  • The Basler Vision Connector doesn't support vTool recipes created or edited in pylon version 25.09 or higher. Therefore, create or edit vTool recipes with pylon version 25.08 or lower.
  • The Basler Vision Connector doesn't support opening more than four Web UI instances simultaneously. If you open more than four Web Ui instances simultaneously, the correct functioning of the BVC can't be guaranteed.
  • The Basler Vision Connector doesn't support connecting multiple cameras with the same serial number when using the Web UI. So, if you intend to use the Web UI, make sure that all cameras have unique serial numbers.
  • Ensure that the network bandwidth between the Basler Vision Connector and its web user interface is sufficient while you use live image streaming. Otherwise, you may encounter delays while displaying live images.
  • Not all pylon vTools can be used with the Basler Vision Connector. Find a list of supported vTools in the Using vTools in the Basler Vision Connector topic.
