This section is part of a larger project, aimed at automating Photron Fastcam high-speed cameras.

While Photron provides source code for camera interaction, I lacked proficiency in C. After reaching out to their support team, they recommended using an open-source Python wrapper for their SDK. Special thanks to PyPhotron and the Photron support team for their assistance.

SDK's dlls are compatible with windows.

• Create a suitable environment (python >=3.10 with at least the cython package)

• Clone the repository

• cd to the repository folder

• run

  python setup.py install
  

Please add you python interpretor to the firewall and define a rule to allowing acess to High speec camera ports.

Changes must be applied to pyphotron\pyphotron_pdclib.pyx file and previos package must be uninstalled, compiled and then installed.

C:/Users/[your username]/anaconda3/python.exe -m pip uninstall pyphotron -y

C:/Users/[your username]/anaconda3/python.exe .\setup.py install

C:/Users/[your username]/anaconda3/python.exe .\test.py

To get started, you can try the test function

>>> from pyphotron.pyphotron_pdclib import test
>>> test()

You can see how the function is implemented to see how to use the library
