Halcon Installation Instructions

Zivid offers two ways of interfacing with HALCON:

1. Through the Zivid SDK, utilizing the C++/C# libraries available for HALCON. We provide samples for both C++ and C#. (Recommended)

2. Directly through a GenICam GenTL producer that comes with the Zivid Software.

Zivid and HALCON are compatible with Windows 10 and 11, and Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, 24.04.

Note

Support for Ubuntu 18.04 is removed since SDK 2.10.

To set up and use Zivid in one of these operating systems, please follow their respective instructions on the following pages:

The following HALCON versions have been tested and confirmed to work with Zivid cameras:

• 19.05 Progress, 20.05 Progress, 21.11 Progress, 24.05 Progress, 24.11 Progress-Steady

We recommend using one of the HALCON versions we have tested.
