Hamamatsu python library
This library is used to control basic features of Hamamatsu cameras. It is composed of a core library, an optional simulator and an optional lima plugin together with its tango device class.
It has been tested with C11440-36U model, but should work with other models.
Installation
From within your favorite python environment type:
$ pip install hamamatsu
Usage
import logging
from hamamatsu.dcam import dcam, Stream
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
with dcam:
camera = dcam[0]
with camera:
print(camera.info)
print(camera['image_width'].value, camera['image_height'].value)
# Simple acquisition example
nb_frames = 10
camera["exposure_time"] = 0.1
with Stream(camera, nb_frames) as stream:
logging.info("start acquisition")
camera.start()
for i, frame_buffer in enumerate(stream):
frame = copy_frame(frame_buffer)
logging.info(f"acquired frame #%d/%d: %s", i+1, nb_frames, frame)
logging.info("finished acquisition")Lima
Install extra dependencies with:
$ pip install hamamatsu[lima]
