Note: FireWire is not supported under Windows 8 (see restrictions below). * pylon Viewer: Added a new "Submit feedback" command to the Help menu. * pylon Viewer: Added a new "Contact support" command to the Help menu. * pylon Viewer: Added a slider and spin buttons for float values in the feature tree. * USB 3 Vision: Starting with this version pylon supports Basler's new USB 3 Vision cameras. * USB 3 Vision: Added a new application, the USB Configurator. The USB Configurator is an easy to use tool to improve USB performance and diagnose possible problems using USB cameras and controllers. * GigE Vision: Since pylon 3.2.3 an updated pylon Performance GigE driver is included. In addition to the currently supported chipsets the newer Intel chipsets I340 and I350 are now supported. * SDK: Visual Studio 2012 is now officially supported. * SDK: Added a new GetSfncVersion() function to determine the SNFC version of a device. This aids when determining which camera features are available. * SDK: CPixelTypeMapper::GetnameByPixelType can be passed a SNFC Version to perform the mapping. If none is specified, the behaviour of pylon 3.x is used. * SDK: The GrabResultData has an additional function, the GetBufferContext(), to access the buffer context, which can be specified when using custom buffer factories. * pylonC/pylonC.NET: Added a new function, the GenApiNodeGetAlias(), to retrieve the alias node of a float node. * pylonC: Fixed const correctness of pBuffer parameter in PylonImagePersistenceSave(), PylonAviWriterAdd(), PylonImageWindowSetImage() and PylonImageWindowDisplayImage(). CORRECTIONS ==================== * pylon Viewer: Corrected an issue which may have led to read-only features in the feature tree, not beeing selectable anymore. * pylon Viewer: The viewer now correctly displays images with varying dimensions during a continuous grab, i.E when using the sequencer feature on the camera. * pylon Viewer: Corrected an issue where the window layout of the pylon Viewer could be changed without user action when there was an error during camera access. * Setup: A shortcut to the "pylon Viewer (Multicast Monitor)" will only be created, if the user installs GigE support. * Setup: Prevented the black command windows from being briefly displayed during installation. * GigE Vision: Corrected an issue in the IP Configurator which prevented the successful configuration of some older cameras. * pylonC.NET: Corrected a possible NullReferenceException when using the AviWriter with the compression options dialog. * pylonC.NET: Corrected an issue where an ArgumentException: "Key already exits" could be thrown when registering a removal callback for two or more cameras simultaneously. RESTRICTIONS ================== * USB 3 Vision: Currently pylon is tested with Renesas and Intel Ivy Bridge USB 3 host controllers. pylon may work with other controllers, but some functionality may not work as expected. * USB 3 Vision: For optimal performance you should make sure to install the latest driver and firmware for your USB 3 host controller. * USB 3 Vision: pylon only supports USB 3 host controllers. Cameras connected to a USB 2 port will not be detected/supported.
