Example here: https://github.com/ZhuangLab/storm-control/blob/master/storm_control/sc_hardware/mpbcomm/mpb561.py DOC04425R10 - User's Manual 2RU-VFL-Series Class 4.pdf

I think we are not doing this and instead doing a coherent Genesis laser driver?

adamkglaser commented 1 year ago

That is correct. I think we will deprecate the MPB lasers within the next 1-2 months. The Genesis lasers will need a driver written. Unfortunately it looks like from the manual (attached) that they may not operate with pure serial commands, but instead through a Windows DLL. We could reach out to the Coherent tech team to inquire about a way to write something which is OS agnostic.
