umsdk

SDK for Sensapex uMx devices.

• uMp - Micromanipulators
• uMs - Microscope motorization
• uMc - Pressure control

Installation

Linux and MacOS

Build and install umsdk with example projects.

cd scripts
./build.sh

Install umlib in your system (Linux)

cd scripts
sudo ./install.sh

Example applications and libum can be found from build directory.

Eg. Run 'sample'-application

cd build-Release/sample
./sample

Windows

Changelog

Version 1.400

• New API to read ump handedness configuration
• Bug fixes
• Maintenance improvements

Older versions

umsdk is new major development branch that is based on the legacy ump-sdk. Main differences are:

• function names are changed from ump_foo_bar to um_foo_bar if function is usable for multiple type of Sensapex devices i.e. not only manipulators (uMp).

• positions are floating point numbers in µm instead of integers in nm.

• major efforts have been done to simplify and harmonize the SDK, which includes removing alternative function variants and simplified API version. There is now dev_id argument for all functions except for the functions not related to certain uMx device (e.g. um_get_version for obtaining SDK version).

• includes support for uMs microscope motorization products and uMc automated pressure controller products.

TODO

There are matlab and labview example scripts for the legacy ump-sdk SDK, but not - yet - for this new one (some incompatibilities exist).
