of the following operating systems is installed on your computer:

Installation
To install the Basler pylon Camera Software Suite for Windows:
- Download the pylon installer from the Basler
website.
- Launch the downloaded installer.
- Follow the instructions in the setup wizard. The wizard will guide
you through the installation process.
During installation, you can choose the interfaces of your cameras
(USB, GigE, CXP, or Camera Link) so that only the software you need
is installed.
- The pylon Camera Software Suite can be installed side-by-side
with the pylon runtime redistributable packages. If this is the
case, installing or uninstalling the pylon Camera Software Suite
will not affect the installation of the pylon runtime redistributable
components, and vice versa. For more information about the pylon
runtime redistributable packages, see the pylon
Deployment Guide.
- If you choose to install the software for the GigE interface,
Basler network drivers are bound to all network adapters installed
in your computer. This applies not only to all network adapters
used to connect to cameras, but also to all other network adapters
installed in your computer.
