A note for Basler Pylon_C_vX_Y.dll library (for documentation) #53

On the documentation page for Basler, there is a mention of the path to Pylon_C_vX_Y.dll (currently Pylon_C_v7_4.dll). I initially could not find this library in my local installation path. I eventually found out that this library is NOT installed when installing the "camera user" version of the suite. One should use the "developer" or "custom" version to include this library in the installation (this option is prompted when using installation wizard but it doesn't explain what the difference is). I don't know if this is worth including in the actual documentations but I thought I'd leave a note in case someone else runs into the same confusion.

Thanks for pointing it out! Likely, I've installed the developer version a long time ago, and never remembered that it's not the default option. I will add a note to the documentation in the next release.
