SECTION 10 - EXAMPLES
INTRODUCTION
We present here a number of examples of controlling Andor SDK to acquire data. Source code for each
example can be found on the disk. Each example is presented in three different languages, Visual Basic,
LabVIEW and C.
The examples were devised to demonstrate the wide versatility and range of the data acquisition
mechanisms available with Andor SDK. The examples are all based on variations of the flowchart
described on the following pages.
The flowchart is a basic demonstration of how to set up and control the Andor system to acquire data with
the appropriate Andor SDK commands located just to the right of the flowchart.
The flowchart is divided into three sections, the first deals with the initialization of the system and controlling
the sensor temperature. The second section deals with the data acquisition process while the third
illustrates the proper shutdown procedure.
NOTE: Do not have more than one example or other SDK software (e.g. Andor Solis™, iQ™)
running at the same time.
