Release Notes

R2-3 (xxx-March-2015)

  • Upgraded the Andor SDK version used to 2.99.3 on both Windows and Linux.

R2-2 (12-March-2015)

  • Upgraded the Andor SDK version used to 2.98.3 on both Windows and Linux.
    • R2-0 through R2-1-1 used 2.90 on Windows and 2.84 on Linux.
  • Added support for the Shamrock spectrographs on Linux. However, andorDoc.html and the example st.cmd file were not updated to reflect this change, so they indicated that the Shamrock was not supported on Linux.

R2-1-1 (13-Jul-2014)

  • Added support for the Shamrock spectrographs on 64-bit Windows. The notes for R2-1 are incorrect, there is 64-bit support for the Shamrock, it is just a little hard to find.

R2-1 (15-Apr-2014)

  • Added support for the Shamrock spectrographs.
    This supports control of grating selection, center wavelength, and slit sizes. It is a separate driver, and is only supported on 32-bit Windows because Andor does not provide a Shamrock SDK for 64-bit Windows or Linux.
  • Added support for saving data in Princeton Instruments V3.0 SPE file format with XML footer. This is used to save calibration information from the Shamrock spectrometer. None of the other formats will save calibration information from the SDK, although they do from Solis.

R2-0 (24-Mar-2014)

  • Moved the repository to Github.
  • Re-organized the directory structure to separate the driver library from the example IOC application.

R1-9-1 and earlier
