How to get MATLAB to recognize my Thorlabs Scientific Camera Link Camera?

52 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a Thorlabs Scientific Camera (Camera Link) that I am trying to use with the Image Acquisition Tool. My camera isn't appearing under the Hardware Browser automatically like its supposed to. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi Kat,
Unfortunately the Image Acquisition Toolbox is no longer supported by Thorlabs cameras. It’s been replaced with a new .NET interface in versions 3.0.0 and up. With this interface you can control the camera by calling Thorlabs .NET assemblies in MATLAB script. I recommend checking out the most recent version of the SDK and looking over the Thorlabs Camera MATLAB Interface Guide as well as the MATLAB programming samples.
The ThorCam Software includes both ThorCam and the SDK, but you can navigate to the ‘Programming Interfaces’ tab to get just the SDK.
Hope this helps!

Hi Kat,
I have the same problem when I try to run the script "ThorlabsCameraGUI".
I get the following message:
Message: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Users\PNP\Desktop\Matlab\Camera\Scientific
Camera Interfaces\MATLAB\Thorlabs.TSI.TLCamera.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot
find the file specified.

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 220)
feval(gui_State.gui_OpeningFcn, gui_hFigure, [], guidata(gui_hFigure), varargin{:});
Error in ThorlabsCameraGUI (line 42)
gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});
Did you solve this problem yet?

Hi,
I am not quite sure if your specific camera is supported, but have you tried to install this support package?
Once installed, use webcamlist to see the cameras available, and webcam command to create a camera object.
