How To: Generate a pylon Log File On macOS#
To generate pylon log files on macOS:
- Open Terminal.app (accessible under /Applications/Utilities).
-
Start the pylon Viewer with the following command using the command line in the Terminal.app:
/Library/Frameworks/pylon.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/Tools/pylon-start-with-logging /Applications/pylon\ Viewer.app
Info
pylon-start-with-logging and pylon Viewer.app could be located somewhere else, when the default installation path wasn't used at installation.
Info
The slash in "/Applications/pylon Viewer.app" is important to be able to use filenames that include the space character at the command line.
-
Reproduce the problem (e.g., if no camera is displayed in the Viewer, press the refresh button).
- Close the pylon Viewer.
A text document with the log file opens.
