In the example as it is coded at the moment there is dependency.

You need to manually point at the location of ThorLabs Kinesis DLL files see example below.

# constants
sys.path.append(r"C:\Program Files\Thorlabs\Kinesis")
serial = '45252134'

And you need to make sure to download and install Kinesis from ThorLabs webpage https://www.thorlabs.com/newgrouppage9.cfm?objectgroup_id=10285
