Software controlled Microscope


Hello all,

I am involved in a project that requires software control of a
microscope. Particularly of interest, we would like to be able to
control the 'beam' of the microscope on and off in the matter of ms
using software written in VC++. However, as I am no software developer,
I need some of your help.

The microscope supplier has a software for it, but doesn't have the
feature we want. I have the SDK from the supplier, and if anyone is
interested in taking a look at it and give me a few pointers, that
would be much appreciated.

do you have the sources of the vendor software, or only the exe?
if you have the sources, you could simply ask someone to add the feature you
want.
if you don't have the sources, you would have to ask someone to write the
application from scratch.

that someone could even be a CS student or hobbyist programmer if you only
need to add a feature to available sources.

the important issue here is that you have to have someone who can test and
debug the new feature.
this cannot easily be resolved via a newsgroup.
I write test and measurement software for a living, and in my experience,
these things never work at the first try.
that is why the programmer has to have access to the hardware.
