Software for Lenses

Optotune's Lens Driver 4 is controlled by an open serial protocol, which can be implemented in any system supporting serial communication in both a Windows or Linux environment. Optotune currently provides an implementation in C# running on Windows. The C# source code and a deteiled description of the communication protocol is available on request. For a Labview implementation, please scroll down.
