Some days ago, I stumbled upon this github page, by a grad student at KIT who developed this code as he was working with Basler GigE cameras. Since we are having trouble installing SnapPy, I figured I'd give this package a try. Installation was very easy, took me ~10mins, and while there isn't great documentation, basic use is very easy - for instance, I was able to adjust the exposure time, and capture an image, all from Pianosa. The attached is some kind of in-built function rendering of the captured image - it is a piece of paper with some scribbles on it near Jigyasa's BRDF measurement setup on the SP table, but it should be straightforward to export the images in any format we like. I believe the axes are pixel indices.

Of course this is only a temporary solution as I don't know if this package will be amenable to interfacing with EPICS servers etc, but seems like a useful tool to have while we figure out how to get SnapPy working. For instance, the HDR image capture routine can now be written entirely as a Python script, and executed via an MEDM button or something.

A rudimentary example file can be found at /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/scripts/GigE/PyPylon/examples - some of the dictionary keywords to access various properties of the camera (e.g. Exposure time) are different, but these are easy enough to figure out.
