Alternatives to ActiveX for Automating BASLER (Pylon Viewer application) with LabVIEW

 

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project where I need to capture and display the live video demo from pylon application. Unfortunately, the application does not support ActiveX, and I would like to avoid using specific NI tools beyond LabVIEW. I’m looking for alternative methods to control and automate the application from LabVIEW.

Here are the details:

  • Application: Basler - Pylon Viewer
  • Objective: Display live video feed from the camera with zoom control.
  • Requirements: The solution needs to be implemented directly in LabVIEW, possibly using external libraries or SDKs.
  • Constraints: Cannot use ActiveX or NI-specific tools beyond LabVIEW.

Could anyone suggest alternative ways to achieve this? Any advice on interfacing methods, scripts, or protocols that could work with LabVIEW would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to download the pylon 7.4.0 Camera Software Suite Windows | Basler (baslerweb.com) and connect LabVIEW to the DLLs via the Call Library Function Node in LabVIEW?
