- | * Ubuntu 16 on main laptop | ||
- | * http:// | ||
- | * What was the relationship between libapogee and indi? | ||
- | * IIRC libapogee got discontinued | ||
- | * However, they didn't move the examples over | ||
- | * Should reach out to the devs | ||
- | * Using indi | ||

- | * Cooled CCD (Alta U2) frontside optical emissions imaging test: unable to see any activity despite 1 hour exposure + histogram equalization (raw image appears black) | ||
- | * Used minipro | ||

- | ====== libapogee ====== | ||
- | |||
- | What I used to get my early results. Works, but not reliably (sometimes image shows large splotch bands, almost like integration didn't start/stop correctly) | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | wget http:// | ||
- | tar -xf libapogee-3.0.3234.tgz | ||
- | cd libapogee-3.0.3234 | ||
- | sed -i s/ | ||
- | ./configure | ||
- | make -j$(nproc) | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ====== micromanager ====== | ||
- | |||
- | 2018-08-28 | ||
- | |||
- | Followed instructions in Apogee official pdf | ||
- | |||
- | Got it to pickup, heard fan speed change | ||
- | |||
- | < | ||
- | C:\Program Files\Micro-Manager-1.4\MMConfig_apogee.cfg | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Got this working pretty quickly. Seems to work more reliably than the Apogee demo app | ||
