API documentation for the Kinesis commands #61

Closed mhturner closed 1 month ago

mhturner commented 2 months ago

I'm using the Python example scripts for interacting with KCubes, and I'm having trouble adapting the code to my own purposes because I cannot seem to find documentation anywhere describing the functions, attributes, etc available in the Kinesis python packages. The dlls that are on my machine are compiled so I can't even look at the source code to understand how to interact with the python modules. Does this documentation exist somewhere?

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. The class and method descriptions are housed in the .chm help files in your Kinesis install location (C:\Program Files\Thorlabs\Kinesis) named Thorlabs.MotionControl.C_API.chm (if you are using ctypes) and Thorlabs.MotionControl.DotNET_API.chm (if you are using pythonnet). I hope this helps but please feel free to message us at Techsupport@thorlabs.com if you have any questions regarding how specific commands work.

Bests, Truman Metz
