**3.1. Common Vision Blox**  
After installation the Transportlayer is fully functional. And Realsense Cameras is available/configureable like any other GenICam camera type. Please follow [https://help.commonvisionblox.com/NextGen/14.0/md\_theory\_of\_operation\_hardware\_\_configurator.html#configurator-user-guide-for-common-vision-blox-configuration-with-your-acquisition-hardware](https://help.commonvisionblox.com/NextGen/14.0/md_theory_of_operation_hardware__configurator.html#configurator-user-guide-for-common-vision-blox-configuration-with-your-acquisition-hardware) for configuration.

**3.2. Other GenTL Consumers**  
A path GENICAM\_GENTL64\_PATH or GENICAM\_GENTL32\_PATH will be created/or extended. The Transportlayer can be found there. Most GenTL Consumers such as Common Vision Blox will use this path to load Transportlayers, hence the Transportlayer should be available automatically. Otherwise open/load the Transportlayer from this path.

**3.3 Halcon**  
**3.3.1. Installation**  
Just install Halcon, Common Vision Blox and the Transportlayer.

**3.3.2 Usage**  
Open an image acquisition. The UCV / Realsense camera should be available through the “GenICamTL” Category.
