Lucam is a Python library that provides two interfaces to the Teledyne Lumenera(r) LuCam API:

• API, a low level ctypes interface to the lucamapi.dll version 5, exposing the definitions/declarations found in the lucam.h C header.
• Lucam, a high level object interface wrapping most of the ctypes interface, featuring exception based error handling and numpy.array type images.

• CPython >= 3.6
• Numpy 1.14
• Lumenera USB camera and drivers 5.0

Lucam has been tested with the Lu165M, L075M, LT545RM, Lt-M2420 and Lt-M2450 all of which are monochrome camera, Windows is the only OS that this library has been tested on.

Some LuCam API functions are not available in the Lucam wrapper due to lack of documentation or hardware for testing.

Naming of functions, methods, and constants that have an equivalent in the LuCam API follows the LuCam API conventions, else PEP8 is followed.
