pyKoalaRemote

Python wrapper for dotNet Koala Remote Client provided by LynceeTec to control Digital Holographic Microscope using proprietary Koala software

The wrapper uses the same methods names and arguments as the dotNet library distributed by LynceeTec SA LynceeTec.KoalaRemote.Client for Koala version 8.6.25517.0-beta. LynceeTec.KoalaRemote.Client.dll documentation

Methods that return a dotNet Array are modified to return a Numpy Array, modified methods are described bellow.

Installation using pip

pip install pyKoalaRemote

Test

From Ipython console

from pyKoalaRemote import client
run client

Usage

Import the class client from the pyKoalaRemote and create an instance

from  pyKoalaRemote import client
remote = client.pyKoalaRemoteClient()

Run standard methods

remote.Connect("localhost")
remote.Login("password")
remote.OpenConfig(137)

New methods

Two new methods enable a dialog in the console.

• ConnectAndLoginDialog
  • Arguments : void(nothing)
  • Return : true if the connection and login was successful
  • Comments :
    • Connect and Login to Koala within a single function.
    • IP address and password are defined in the console
    • If the user leave empty field, the default value is used
• OpenConfigDialog
  • Arguments : void(nothing)
  • Return : true if the connection and login was successful
  • Comments :
    • Config number is defined in the console
• GetPhaseProfileAxis
  • Description : return calibrated axis in [um] of a profile cut
  • Arguments : void(nothing)
  • Return : 1D Numpy array of np.double of profile length

Modified methods

The methods that returns dotNet Array are modified to return Numpy Array

• Connect(hostname, quiet=True)
  • Arguments :
    • hostName (String): The IP of the computer where Koala is running. Use localhost if running on the same computer
    • quiet (Boolean): Deprecated parameter, will be removed in a later version. Set either to true or false
  • Return : true if the connection was successful
  • Comments : the instance variable username is set with username
• GetAxesPosMu
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 1D Numpy array of np.double of size 4, where the data for the X, Y, Z and Theta axis respectively
• GetHoloImage
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 2D Numpy array of np.ubyte of hologram size
• GetIntensityImage
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 2D Numpy array of np.ubyte of ROI size
• GetIntensity32fImage
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 2D Numpy array of np.single of ROI size
• GetPhaseImage
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 2D Numpy array of np.ubyte of ROI size
• GetPhase32fImage
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 2D Numpy array of np.single of ROI size
• GetPhaseProfile
  • Arguments : void (nothing)
  • Return : 1D Numpy array of np.double of profile length
