mahos.inst.camera.ThorlabsCamera#

class mahos.inst.camera.ThorlabsCamera(name, conf=None, prefix=None)#

Wrapper for Thorlabs Scientific Camera SDK.

You need the following: 1. Install SDK’s Python wrapper library (thorlabs_tsi_sdk). 2. Place SDK native DLLs somewhere.

Parameters:

  • dll_dir (str) – The directory path containing SDK DLLs.

  • serial (str) – (default: “”) Serial string to discriminate multiple cameras. Blank is fine if only one Thorlabs camera is connected.

  • infinite_wait (bool) – (default: True) If True, wait infinitely on soft trigger mode. If False, get_frames() returns None when timeout happens.
