Doubt in installing the Modules
Hi,
I have finally started working on the Andor code. However, I am getting the MissingImport error whenever I try to run the test.py file.
I attempted to install the module by running pip install . and python setup.py install. However in both the cases I am getting an error
As much as I understand I am missing a andor.lib file which causes the error. I am not able to understand where to get this file. I hope that you will guide me into at least being able to import the modules. I am extremely grateful to this code as it has helped me multiple times. Thanking You.

Hi Spandan,
at first glance it looks like you are missing the needed libraries: Do you have the AndorSDK installed? I would try this one: https://andor.oxinst.com/downloads/view/andor-sdk-2.104.30084.0 You need to have an account to download this but you can register with the serial number of your detector (at least that was how it was 5 years ago).
Also I only used this under linux, there might be some additional problems with using windows.
Best, Simon
Even after installing the exact Andor drivers, atmcdLXd.h file is missing while installation? Should I replace 'LX' with 32 or 64?
Hi,
it looks like Andor renamed their library which suggest that other things might have changed too. If you want to get it to work I would suggest starting by modifying this file: https://github.com/sdickreuter/python-andor/blob/fedfa2d8f9b44ab911c7002540cbe7acd4411f50/Andor/atmcdLXd.pxd Which could induce changes in the rest of python-andor, might be a lot of work.
Best, Simon
