Introduction

The pyND2SDK package is a python/cython wrapper around the Nikon ND2 SDK v9.00 (http://www.nd2sdk.com) for Windows. It tries to be a thin interface on top of the SDK.

Note

Compatibility of pyND2SDK with the new ND2 SDK 1.1.0.0 has not been investigated yet.

Installation

• Download and extract the Nikon ND2 SDK from http://www.nd2sdk.com.
  • You will need to sign up to download the archive.
  • Extract the nd2ReadSDK_v9.zip archive to some place of your liking.
  • Now set the environment variable SDKRootPath to point to the extracted SDK folder.
• Clone the pyND2SDK repository
• Build the pyND2SDK.nd2Reader module:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace
