Initializing the Camera¶

Sequence of API calls for camera Initialization (assuming USB communication)

{
     int CameraHandle;
     float lfSetPointDegC;
     short lnTemp;
     bool lbCoolingState;

     // Open the camera
    CameraHandle = CLOpenHSUSBCamera(0);

    // set cooling on
    // enables TE cooling to setpoint programmed at the factory (35C below ambient)
   CLSetCooling(CameraHandle, true);

   // read back CCD Temp setpoint
   CLGetCCDTargetTemp(CameraHandle, & lfSetPointDegC);

  // read back CCD Temp
   CLGetCCDTemp(CameraHandle, & lnTemp);

  // read back cooling state
  CLGetCCDTemp(CameraHandle, & lbCoolingState);
