Nick and I discussed this yesterday. It's not clear why this has recently started to timeout. Things to check: * cables * that patterns are created with or converted to...

Issue #61 suggests this may be by design or a limitation of the device: it states > apply pattern in the alpao mirror only works in software trigger mode

That looks more like a missing key error in self._params. It could be that this camera doesn't set exposure time in the way the hardware I had available when I...

I would be wary of reyling on doing hardware device initialization solely within ```__init__```. Sometimes, it is necessary to reinitialize a device to put it into a known state. Currently,...

Any idea what aspect of the AFM they wanted to control? They generally have proprietary controllers which are not particularly open, and vary hugely between manufacturers. On Tue, 9 Jul...

Yep - you measure the deflection of a cantilever by detecting the position of a reflected spot. You're not going to do that fast enough with any of the cameras...
