OceanFX(FlameX) spectrometer integration time sub 1ms possible? #61

Open diezm opened 6 years ago

diezm commented 6 years ago

Hi, thank you for all the work you put into this project! I am using a OceanFX (FLAMEX) spectrometer which I think are using the drivers of the USB4000 or 2000(?). I want to set the integration time to 50 microns which the OceanFX can handle (https://oceanoptics.com/product/ocean-fx/). But since different drivers are used of a spectrometer whose minimum integration time is 1ms, I can not set a value under 1ms. Is there any workaround for this?

Best wishes, Michael

I am also looking into it. See also: https://github.com/ap--/python-seabreeze/issues/59. Maybe by using the OBP protocol (https://ftp.oceanoptics.com/Downloads/Ocean-FX/Firmware/Ocean%20FX%20Firmware%20and%20Advanced%20Communications.pdf).
