    Note

    If you install OpenCL on an NVIDIA GPU, the SDK will fail to start until you edit the Config.yml file to explicitly allow it. See NVIDIA Compute Devices Are Not Supported by the OpenCL Version for details.

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