Simplon Explorer in detail
Simplon Explorer offers its functionality in a set of menus. Many menu items are duplicated as
toolbar buttons, for convenience. In the screen shots we will show mostly the usage of the toolbar
buttons.
Simplon Explorer can be run in:
• Single camera (compact) mode, which uses only single application window. In this mode
only one camera can be opened.
• Multiple cameras mode, which uses one window for controls and one window for each
connected camera. In this mode you can connect multiple cameras and use them concurrently.
The mode can be set in the Settings dialog (see Section 3.5, “Settings” [p. 31]) and is applied
when the Explorer is started next time.

3.1. Connecting and disconnecting the camera
First step after starting the tool is to select and connect a camera. Simplon Explorer uses regular
Simplon approach to enumerate cameras — depending on the configuration it can offer cameras
from a single or from all GenTL Producer libraries available on the system. By default, it connects
to the Simplon GenTL Producer, which handles all Leutron Vision cameras (PicSight and CheckSight
families) as well as 3rd party GigE Vision compatible cameras.
All the found cameras are displayed in a tree on the Found Cameras tab. The tree lists all found
Systems (GenTL producers), under each System it lists all Interfaces, containing at least one active
device (camera), and under each Interface it lists all found Devices. When you select a device, you
can connect it by clicking on the Connect camera button, or simply by double-clicking on the
Device.
