Camara Interface #5

Open dschick opened 4 years ago

dschick commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I am interested in running a PI MTE camera with LimA. However, I am not sure about the controller interface you are using. In the doc page it is written, that the camera need to be connected via a PCI board. On the other hand, I think that the PI MTE 2048B has an external controller box that is connected via USB to the PC - which is exactly our situation.

Could you maybe comment on the compatibility of camera/controller types with this driver?

Hi Daniel,I far I know this plugin was used at SOLEIL (@flanglois) with a PI MTE 2048x2048, and there is an other camera used at DESY (@teresanumez). The current code only supports the Pvcam SDK.

hi @laurent-claustre , thanks for the quick reply. I will ask Teresa for more details then.

Hi, I confirm that at SOLEIL we have 3 Princeton camera running under Windows and connected via USB. but I am not sure of the exact model name. I can ask if needed.

hi @soleil-ica , that would be great. We are currently using the black PI controller boxes ST133 and then either use WinSpec or the newer Lightfield Software. Both allow for communicating via a build-in server, which however is not perfectly stable for our applications.

Many thanks in advance

Daniel
