About Sound Card Drivers:

Usually, Windows operating systems apply a generic audio driver that allows computers to recognize the sound card component and make use of its basic functions.
When enabled by proper files, the characteristics of the sound card (like model, manufacturer, number of channels) are completely available to computers, and all its features are made accessible.
Updating the audio version can improve sound quality, resolve different compatibility issues, fix related errors spotted throughout the product's usage, add support for new operating systems, and bring various other changes.
As for applying this package, the steps are quite simple since each producer intends to uncomplicate things for users: just download the package, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Bear in mind that, even though other operating systems might be compatible as well, it is not recommend that you apply any software on platforms other than the specified ones. Also, when the installation has finished, do perform a restart to ensure that all changes take effect properly.
Therefore, if you wish to install this audio version, click the download button and apply the package. Remember to check with our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”

It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.

Installation

Andor Driver Pack 3 (sCMOS)

You will need the Andor Driver Pack 3 (sCMOS). This driver pack is currently not publicly available. Please contact Andor and ask them to provide you with the latest version of this Driver Pack. Public access will be restored soon.
Andor Linux SDK3 reportedly supports up to kernel 3.18.2
Snapping an imaging may use the oldest image, and not the latest image, possibly due to pulling the wrong image from a double buffer
Images may start to scroll to the center of the field after each snap, shifting one line at a time. Restarting the camera and uManager fixes the issue

Linux 32-bit users should install Andor SDK 3.4.30007.0 until Bitflow fixes a 32-bit issue
Zyla cameras running DriverPack3 / SDK3 3.7.30004.0 can cause a 'blue screen of death' upon PC shutdown when certain other devices are installed (e.g. Arduino). This is not a serious problem, just annoying. The solution is to fully uninstall the SDK3 and Bitflow driver (and even run a registry cleaning software for good measure). Then install Andor SDK 3.8.30007.0 to the Micro-Manager install directory. Restart the PC and power cycle the camera before starting Micro-Manager.

Install the Andor Driver Pack 3 (sCMOS) to the working Micro-Manager Directory e.g.

and ensure you restart the computer.

On a 32-bit Windows OS, the 32-bit DLLs will be installed to a subfolder of the MicroManager directory (e.g. C:Program FilesMicro-Manager-1.4Win32). These DLLs must then be copied to the Micro-Manager Directory (e.g. C:Program FilesMicro-Manager-1.4), replacing the 64-bit DLLs.

Disable computer power savings

Disable C-states power saving in the BIOS. For Windows Vista and later, also disable PCI Express > Link State Power Management in Power Options.

Configuration

Increase Sequence buffer size

Andor driver download for windows 7

It is possible to achieve full frame rate with enough RAM. Again using a 64-bit OS, set this value to 5120 MB

Depending on the amount of RAM on the PC or processing performance, this may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Andor Driver

Some operations take longer with larger sequence buffers. Many users will be fine with the Micro-Manager default size, especially with a SSD hard drive. 5120 MB is enough for 1250 full-frame images without writing to disk. As of MM 1.4.19 the default buffer size is 250 MB for 64-bit OS and 25 MB for 32-bit OS.

Linux Installation

The following assumes you installed the Andor SDK in /usr/local/lib/

Put the following line into /etc/udev/rules.d/andor.rules

Add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Reboot the machine.

Usage notes

  • Trigger mode is dynamically set by µManager when using Multi-Dimensional > Time points.
    • 'exposure' < 'interval' ignores the 'interval' time and instead uses 'frame rate' property from the 'Device/Property Browser'
    • 'exposure' > 'interval' sets Software Triggers acquisition.
  • Save data to a large storage drive such as 1 TB, 950 MB/sec PCI-e SSD (OCZ-Z drive R2 P-88) or 4x Kingston 256GB SSD (RAID 0) on LSI MegaRAID setup

Troubleshooting

Zyla support in Micro-Manager

Please read the section on High Speed Acquisition in Micro-Manager. The minimum version of Micro-Manager required is 1.4.11 (Nov 8th, 2012), but 1.4.16 or later is strongly recommended.Consider trying the latest nightly build from here.

DeviceCreate function failed

This error appears in the hardware wizard if the Andor camera SDK has been installed, but the computer has not been restarted.

Error: Circular buffer overflowed.

If one encounters this error, increase sequence buffer size. In the µManager toolbar one can set the Sequence buffer size in the main menu:

Reason:Due to the rate that the camera acquires data it's not uncommon for µManager to run out of 'Circular Buffer' memory during sequence acquisitions (50+ images). The circular buffer is where images wait when they've been taken off the camera but have not yet been processed by µManager. The error message is:

Restart uManager for this change to take effect.

Error: Internal inconsistency: unknown system exception occurred

If you see this message when snapping an image, try a lower AcquisitionWindow size (the default is the full Full Image) to confirm that the camera is capable of sending an image. The BitFlow frame grabber PCIe card fits in 4x splots, but some motherboards don't have the bandwidth to run it and the card may need to be instead installed on an 8x or 16x slot.
