Drivers & Software

Comprehensive Software Support

Every QSI scientific camera is accompanied by a collection of software applications and tools that allow you to begin imaging immediately using Microsoft Windows® or Linux platforms. QSI provides robust Application Programming Interface (API) for both Windows and Linux environments, enabling commercial customers and end users to write their own custom camera control applications.

Windows Installers

The Windows installer includes USB Drivers, User Guides, a demo application for running the camera and ASCOM support. If you received a complimentary code for SGPro with your camera you can download it here.

Custom Application Development

Windows® Custom Application Development

QSI provides both an ASCOM-compatible API (Application Programming Interface) alongside a more traditional C API enabling users to write their own custom camera control applications. Our C API allows you to write your application in any language that can interface with the C language.

Linux Custom Application Development

QSI provides a camera control C API for Linux users (x86 and ARM 32/64-bit architectures). The API provides full camera control and image capture capabilities via the USB interface. The API is implemented as a shared library providing an easy to use camera object that exposes all of the features and capabilities of the camera. It is well suited for both simple scripting, and more sophisticated imaging application development. The QSI Linux API requires Linux kernel version 2.6 or later configured with libusb.
