How to connect a Basler camera to MATLAB
Hi everyone,
I have a Basler acA1920-155um that I am trying to connect to MATLAB using USB 3.0. This has proven more difficult than anticipated.
I’ve followed this (outdated) guide:
https://www2.baslerweb.com/media/downloads/documents/application_notes/AW00134303000_Application_Note_Basler_pylon_GenTL_Producers_with_….pdf
My understanding of what should happen is this:
1. Install the current version of the Basler Pylon Software Suite
2. Install the Image Acquisition toolbox
3. Download the GenTL support package via MATLAB
and….it should work. I open the image acquisition app in MATLAB and it does not find any cameras. I checked using imacqhwinfo and it does show that the GenTL diver is present, but no devices.
What I’ve tried:
I’ve attempted to download the Pylon SDK, and the GenTL drivers to replace them, to no avail.
The camera runs fine in Basler Pylon Viewer so I know it’s not a physical connection problem.
Any guidance is appreciated.Hi everyone,
