my codes and softwares for controlling devices (python and Matlab)

controlling_devices

The automation of device control and data aquisition is strongly desired to efficiently conduct scientific and industrial research. Here, I have built some GUI tools, codes, and softwares for achieving the automated research. They allow you to control optical devices, such as a motorized linear stage, optical shutter, and optomechanics equiped with fine motors, and to get images from different types of cameras.

PCO_delay_scan

• Description: This repository provides a GUI tool for getting images from PCO sCMOS camera and controlling the Newport delay line stage, optical shutters, and picomotors. You can get images as a function of the delay stage position and investigate the effect of the additional light by opening and closing the shutter. Moreover, you can precisely adjust optomechanics equiped with picomotors.
• Programming Language: Matlab
• Application: Focussing profile of laser beam, interferometry, time-resolved measurement

thorcam_NewportStage_GUI

• Description: This repository provides a GUI tool for controlling the Newport delay line stage, getting images from Thorlabs CMOS camera, and opening/closing a Thorlabs optical shutter. You can get images as a function of the delay stage coordinate. Live view is available.
• Programming Language: Matlab
• Application: Focussing profile of laser beam, interferometry, time-resolved measurement

Simple Tools for Advanced Development

picomotor_controller

• Description: This is a GUI tool for controlling the Newport Picomotor. This tool allows us to do fine tuning of optomechanics.
• Programming Language: Matlab

sc10_optical_shutter_gui

• Description: This is a GUI tool for controlling the Thorlabs optical shutter.
• Programming Language: Matlab

newport_delay_stage_gui

• Description: This is a simple GUI tool for controlling the Newport delay line stage. This tool allows us to move the delay stage in a set range with a specified speed.
• Programming Language: python
