Driver for PCO Edge cameras (Edge 4.2, 4.2CLHS and Edge 5.5)

Matlab MEX driver for PCO sCMOS cameras (tested on Edge4.2 and Edge 5.5)

pcocam

Matlab MEX wrapper written in C/C++ (MS Visual Studio) for PCO Edge cameras (tested on Edge 4.2 and Edge 4.2 CLHS)

Requires PCO SDK (SC2_Cam.lib and sc2*.h files)

Syntaxis:

pcocam('setParameterCommand',value); 	% set Parameter to provided value or execute command
result = pcocam('getParameterCommand');	% get Parameter value or get command output

Parameters/Commands:	Call type
AOIHeight	get only
AOIWidth	get only
Acquire	set only
AcquireFrames	get only
AcquisitionStart	get only
AcquisitionStop	get only
AcquisitionTimeoutSec	set&get
ActiveLookupTable	get only
ArmCamera	get only
CameraHealthStatus	get only
CameraHealthStatus	get only
CameraType	get only
EnableSoftROI	set&get
ExposureTime	set&get
FrameCount	set&get
FrameRate	set&get
Frames	get only
HotPixelCorrectionMode	set&get
NoiseFilterMode	set&get
PixelReadoutRate	set&get
ROI	set&get
RebootCamera	get only
SensorHeight	get only
SensorSize	get only
SensorTemperature	get only

ShutterMode	set&get
TriggerMode	set&get

Example:

pcocam('ExposureTime',0.1);        % set camera exposure time
exptime = pcocam('ExposureTime');  % get camera exposure time
pcocam('FrameCount',5);	           % prepare camera to acquire 5 frames next time
frames = pcocam('AcquireFrames')   % starts image acquisition, waits until finished and returns all frames as 3D array
figure
imagesc(rot90(frames(:,:,1),-1))   % display the first of the acquired frames
axis image, colormap hot
%
pcocam('TriggerMode',2);           % set camera to "external exposure start & software" trigger mode
pcocam('AcquisitionStart');        % starts the acquisition, but the camera is waiting for the external trigger
% start triggering
frames = pcocam('AcquisitionStop') % stops the acquisition and returns the acquired frames as 3D array [x,y,frame_number]
