Provide updated tag

[ggayDiamond]

Hi.
The latest available tag R2-2 relates to 8-years old commits which use SDK-3.10.3.
Could we please have a newer tag release which includes the move to SDK-3.15.3?
Many thanks,
Gregory

I don’t have any Andor3 cameras. I’m happy to accept a PR for the new SDK providing it builds on Linux and Windows and has been tested on at least one of those.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your quick reply.

The module successfully builds on Linux (tested on RHEL7 machine and also on Ubuntu 22.04 container) and on Windows-x64 (tested on Windows 2012 server).

I have used it on Linux to control a USB3 Andor detector, and I think it is also being used on Linux with an Andor frame grabber card on another test beamline.
However, I have not had the opportunity to test any SDK-3 Andor hardware on Windows.

Kind regards,
Gregory

I realize my request for a PR is incorrect. The updated SDK is already on the master branch, it just needs a new tag. I will do that.

There are 2 possible issues:

• andor3Support/atcore.h has not been updated since 2014. Is this still current with the 3.15 version of the SDK?
• The git log shows that andor3Support/os/windows-x64/atcorem.lib is version 3.10.3. That should also be updated to 3.15.

Andor does not allow free download of their SDK so I cannot check or update these. Can someone else please check atcore.h and download atcorem.lib for windows-x64?

I can provide atcore.h and atcorem.lib for windows-x64 and win32-x86 for version 3.15.30092. Should I send a PR?
Struggling to get any version of the SDK working with ADAndor3 and our sCMOS iStar but everything builds and the test scripts work as expected.

Can you also provide the updated libraries for Linux?

It looks like they are already in the master branch.
