This program is matlab's wrapper for some functions of the ZWO cameras library. Files ASICamera2.dll & ASICamera2.h & ASICamera2.h & ASICamera2_proto.m must be in the same folder.

The reference script with examples is 'main.m'

functions:

initDrivers.m = inits the drivers

initDrivers()

searchFunctions.m = shows the available options in the library

searchFunctions()

initCameras.m = Searchs, inits and opens available cameras

[CamNum,Sizes]=initCameras();

getCameraMode.m = gets the camera mode of ZWO cameras and says if they are in normal mode of working

getCameraMode(number of cameras)

listControls.m = gets the available controls of ZWO cameras and displays it in the command window.

[controls,ControlType]=listControls(number of cameras)

modifyControl.m = modifies the value of a Control to a desired value. It displays the value before and after the change

modifyControl(CameraNumber,ControlNumber,ControlValue,controls,ControlType);

set_Value.m = directly modifies the value of a Control to a desired value

set_Value(CameraNumber,ControlNumber,ControlValue,controls,ControlType);

set_Output.m = allows to control the type of obtained image

set_Output(CameraNumber,Sizes,OutputValue)

Value for OutputValue

    0=RAW8
    
    1=RGB24
    
    2=RAW16
    
    3=Y8

makeExposure.m = takes image with the defined exposure time;

image=makeExposure(CameraNumber,OutputValue,Sizes);

closeCameras.m = closes all connected ZWO cameras

closeCameras(number of cameras)
