FliCamera

This class provides implementations of all abstract methods defined in the BaseCameraInterface for FLI cameras using the FliSdk_V2 SDK. It handles camera initialization, image acquisition, configuration management, and resource cleanup. There are additonal camera specific function as well.

FliCamera

 FliCamera (camera_index=0, camera_id=None, verbose=False,
            cam_settings=None, cropdims=None, darkpath='./',
            darkfile=None, buffersize_ims=1000)

*First Light Imaging (FLI) camera implementation of the BaseCameraInterface.

This class provides concrete implementations of all abstract methods defined in the BaseCameraInterface for FLI cameras using the FliSdk_V2 SDK. It handles camera initialization, image acquisition, configuration management, and resource cleanup.

The camera can be used in a context manager (with statement) for automatic resource management.*

source

FliCamera.external_trigger

 FliCamera.external_trigger (enabled, syncdelay=None, verbose=False)

Configure external triggering for the camera.

	Type	Default	Details
enabled	bool		If True, enables external triggering; if False, disables it.
syncdelay	NoneType	None	Synchronization delay in milliseconds.
verbose	bool	False	If True, prints the commands and responses.

source

FliCamera.check_nims_buffer

 FliCamera.check_nims_buffer ()

Check the number of images in the camera buffer.

source

FliCamera.get_buffer_images

 FliCamera.get_buffer_images (return_im=True, verbose=False)

Retrieve all images currently stored in the camera buffer.

	Type	Default	Details
return_im	bool	True	If True, returns the image cube; otherwise just updates internal buffer.
verbose	bool	False	If True, prints additional information.
Returns	numpy.ndarray or None		3D array of images (frames, height, width) if return_im is True, otherwise None.

source

FliCamera.get_latest_image

 FliCamera.get_latest_image (return_im=True, waitfornewframe=True)

*Retrieve the latest image frame from the camera.

Implementation of the abstract get_image method from BaseCameraInterface.*

	Type	Default	Details
return_im	bool	True	If True, returns the image; otherwise just updates the internal buffer.
waitfornewframe	bool	True	If True, blocks until a new frame is available.
Returns	numpy.ndarray or None		The image as a 2D numpy array if return_im is True, otherwise None.

source

FliCamera.get_n_images

 FliCamera.get_n_images (blocking=True, return_ims=False, coadd=False,
                         subtract_dark=False)

Acquire a specified number of images from the camera.

	Type	Default	Details
blocking	bool	True	If True, blocks until all requested images are acquired.
return_ims	bool	False	If True, returns the acquired images.
coadd	bool	False	If True, returns the average of all acquired images.
subtract_dark	bool	False	If True, subtracts the dark frame from each image.
Returns	numpy.ndarray or None		If return_ims is True, returns either a 3D array of images or a 2D array (if coadd=True). Otherwise returns None.

FliCamera.mro

 FliCamera.mro ()

Return a type’s method resolution order.

source

FliCamera.newim_callbackfunc

 FliCamera.newim_callbackfunc (image, ctx)

*Callback function executed by the SDK when a new image is available.

This function is registered with the FliSdk_V2 and called automatically when new frames are captured. It handles updating the latest image buffer and logging images when requested.*

	Type	Details
image	pointer	Pointer to the raw image data from the SDK.
ctx	pointer	Context pointer passed by the SDK.

source

FliCamera.reset_buffer

 FliCamera.reset_buffer ()

Reset the camera’s internal buffer, clearing any stored images.

source

FliCamera.send_command

 FliCamera.send_command (commandstr, return_response=True, verbose=False)

Send a command to the camera through the SDK.

	Type	Default	Details
commandstr	str		Command string to send to the camera.
return_response	bool	True	If True, returns the camera’s response.
verbose	bool	False	If True, prints the command and response.
Returns	str or None		The camera’s response if return_response is True, otherwise None.

source

FliCamera.set_nims_tolog

 FliCamera.set_nims_tolog (nims)

Set the number of images to acquire in subsequent operations.

	Type	Details
nims	int	Number of images to acquire and store.

source

FliCamera.set_tint

 FliCamera.set_tint (tint, verbose=False)

Set the camera integration time (exposure time).

	Type	Default	Details
tint	float		Integration time in seconds.
verbose	bool	False	If True, prints the command and response.
