This is a repository for certain files which allow you to compile a mex file to load the proprietary Andor SIF format into MATLAB

How to compile .mexa64 file on linux and use for sifopen. Rafael Jaimes Last updated: April 21st, 2014.

PART 1: DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE ANDOR LINUX SDK******
Obtain the proprietary .so (or .dll for windows) files from the Andor website
https://www.andor.com/download/
Software -> Andor SDK

Andor Linux SDK - 2.96.30004.0
Last Updated: 20/12/2013 11:30:38
Size: 13.55 MB
Filename: andor-2.96.30004.0.tar.gz
Andor SDK for CCD cameras. Designed to work on generic Linux distributions.
To install simply extract the archive and follow the instructions in the README contained within.

tar -zxvf andor-2.96.30004.0.tar.gz
cd andor
sudo ./install_andor
5 (All USB Cameras)

This will install SDK header files in the following directory:
/usr/local/include
And also static libraries in the following directory:
/usr/local/lib
For uninstall:
/etc/andor/andor.install

PART 2: COMPILING THE .C FILE TO CREATE .MEXA64*********
Create a directory and place in the following files:
atsifiomex.c
ATSIFIO.h
ATSIFTypes.h
ATSIFProperties.h
ATSIFErrorCodes.h
ATPrimitiveTypes.h
ATLibraryExport.h

Open matlab, then cd to the directory with the files.
Run the following command:
mex atsifiomex.c /usr/local/lib/libatsifio.so
Which creates:
atsifiomex.mexa64

PART 3: USING THE .MEXA64 AND SIFOPEN****
Make sure you install the Andor Linux SDK on every machine you plan on using
You don't have to compile the .mexa64 file every time, most of the time the same file will
work on different machines.
Just put the atsifio.mexa64 and sifopen99.m in the same folder, and run from there.
You should be able to open any andor .SIF files directly with matlab.

If you get an error about missing libatsifio.so.2 then you need to add this to your console before running matlab. This will point matlab to the shared objects.
