Hi Nino,
I don't think there is a driver, someone else asked about another Thorlabs camera a few weeks ago.
I wrote to Thorlabs and asked if their cameras are GenICam compliant. They said that they are not, so it is not possible to use ADAravis with their cameras. A new driver based on their SDK (Windows only) would need to be written.
What is the application and requirements for this camera?
Here is a comparison of that camera with 2 FLIR cameras:
?
?ThorLabs Quantalux
?FLIR GS3-U3-23S6M-C
?FLIR GS3-U3-32S4M-C
?Pixels (HxV)
?1920x1080
?1920x1200
?2048x1536
?Frames/s
?50
?163
?121
?Full well capacity (e-)
?23,000
?33,000
?10,500
?RMS read noise (e-)
?1.5
?7.0
?2.3
?Price
?$3,172
?$1,045
?$1,025
So both of the FLIR cameras are faster, have more pixels, and are cheaper. One has a 50% larger full-well capacity than the ThorLabs, the other is 50% smaller. One has ~4 times the read noise, the other about 50% more. But even 7e- read noise is only significant if the pixels have fewer than about 50e- total; if they have more than 50- then the shot noise (sqrt(50)) dominates. Is this a very low-light application?

Hi
Has anyone written EPICS support for or have experience with the Quantalux sCMOS camera from Thorlabs?
https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=11421
I guess it considerable cheaper the Andor version.
Thanks,
Nino
