andor zyla and external shutter

Hi. I am sorry for bothering but I have encountered some issue and I am hoping someone could give a hint!

 

So, the problem:  I  have connected external shutter for the laser light to the system which I control trough labview interface. As well, I have installed the SDK for Andor camera. Now, I want to be able to execute actions as following:

1- open the shutter( for fluorescence imaging)

2- acquire an image

3-save as txt

4- close the shutter

What is happening now in executing my written code: I observe sample normally with high speed acquiring images. I make demand to stop live ( without closing and de-initializing library, so just made pause in live acquiring) and to open the shutter, then command to acquire one image and close the shutter.  The problems I have are:

 

1- the image that has been saved is not the image in the time between opening and closing the shutter ( so he saves another image before or after, I do not know). (I have already introduced delays and clocks, so I do not think its problem about the timing but who knows...)

2- time to save txt file is quite long ( 10 s or more)

 

I hope I was clear in explanation of the problem...

 

Thank you

Hi raindroplilly,

 

Would you be able to post your code or screenshots to the relevant sections? This will help considerably in narrowing down the cause here.
