Hi Scott,

 

I don’t know of areaDetector support for those Thorlabs cameras.  I have looked at them before when others inquired about them.  They have a few disadvantages to be aware of:

 

• They are not GenICam compliant, which means that ADAravis cannot be used with them.
• The vendor SDK only supports Windows, so you cannot use Linux.
• They only support rolling shutter, not global shutter.  That means that each row of your image is acquired at a different time, they are not synchronous.  That may or may not be an issue for your application.

Hi EPICS users,

 

I have two inquiries about current drivers:

1. Is anyone currently using areaDetector for this Thorlabs camera: Thorlabs CS2100M-USB (https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=11421)
2. Is anyone using a driver with the Gentec S-Link-2-Ethernet power meter base station? (https://www.gentec-eo.com/products/s-link-2-ethernet)

1. E.g. I found this from Marek Böhm in the archives of tech-talk: https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2015/msg00751.php

 

Thanks!

 

Scott
