Raster Scan Using Visual Studio and C# Programming - Kinesis BBD300 Series - Thorlabs Insights

Learn how to program a stepped, bidirectional raster scan pattern for Thorlabs' Kinesis® BBD300 series motor controller using C#, .NET framework, and Visual Studio®. Explore different raster scan patterns and approaches before diving into the project setup, including library referencing and controller initialization. Master three move methods: homing a stage axis, moving to a specific position, and implementing jogs. Follow along as the tutorial guides you through building the raster scan implementation, debugging the code, and successfully executing the scan. Gain practical experience with motorized XY stages and remote control programming for patterned scans across specified areas.
