TEM vision software
|
As part of the Nanorobotics project a TEM vision software was developed. The software makes use of the TVIPS FastScan-F114 which is an IIDC/DCAM-compatible firewire camera. The nano-indenter is controlled by a Nanomagnetics SPM controller (the old version of the controller can be accessed with a PCI-DIO24 card).
The software runs under GNU/Linux and it makes use of Damien Douxchamps' libdc1394 to access the camera and Warren Jasper's PCI-DIO24 driver to access the PCI-card which interfaces with the SPM controller.
The software was implemented in Ruby using Qt4-QtRuby, HornetsEye, and a custom Ruby-extension to access the SPM controller via the PCI-DIO24 card. [http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/DRb.html Distributed Ruby was used
