New OWIS PS10 MATLAB interfacing class

Posted on by hofmannu

I created another wrapper to fuse a stage controlling library into the object-oriented framework of the acoustic resolution optoacoustic microscope I am currently developing. The stage is built by OWIS and in the end a standard linear positioning system driven by a stepper motor and a spindle drive (I am using version PS10). The interfacing is based on OWISoft which requires a login to download the software.

The interfacing code for a convenient handling of stage position, homing, velocity, acceleration, connecting, enabling etc. through MATLAB is available at github.
