Software Upgrade

In order to ensure that all components are properly updated, perform the following before the normal installation.

  1. On your PC, navigate to Control Panel → Uninstall a program.

  2. Uninstall Zivid Software.

  3. Uninstall TeliCamSDK (x64).

  4. Restart your PC.

Now you may follow the normal installation steps.

  1. Download and run the latest Zivid Software installer.

  2. Select the GPU compute backend to install, matching the GPU you will use with Zivid.

  3. If you are using HALCON, check the option to install GenICam GenTL Producer (Experimental).

  4. Open Zivid Studio and check that no errors occur to verify that the installation was successful.

    Note

    If you run into issues, you may need to install or update GPU drivers.

  5. Proceed to Network Configuration.

Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys on the keyboard.

  1. Create a temporary folder:

    mkdir Zivid && cd Zivid

  2. Download all deb packages:

    Note

    Since SDK 2.18 the main Zivid package is split by GPU compute backend: zivid-cuda (CUDA) and zivid-opencl (OpenCL). Select the tab for the backend matching your GPU.

    Note

    The CUDA backend requires an NVIDIA driver that supports CUDA 12 or newer. See About GPU to install a supported driver.
