How to turn on a laser, move a positioner and take a snap

import time

mainWindow.setCurrentModule('imcontrol')

laserName = api.imcontrol.getLaserNames()[2]
positionerXName = api.imcontrol.getPositionerNames()[0]
positionerYName = api.imcontrol.getPositionerNames()[1]

api.imcontrol.setLaserActive(laserName, True)
api.imcontrol.movePositioner(positionerXName, "X", 3)
time.sleep(1)
api.imcontrol.snapImage()

Automated photophysics characterization, running a scan for different laser powers

import numpy as np
mainWindow.setCurrentModule('imcontrol')

values_405 = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200])
lasername_405 = api.imcontrol.getLaserNames()[0]

# Start Recording
api.imcontrol.startRecording()
for i in values_405:
	# Set Laser Value
	api.imcontrol.changeScanPower(lasername_405, i)
	# Run Scan
	api.imcontrol.runScan()
	# Wait for finish
	waitForScanningToEnd = getWaitForSignal(api.imcontrol.signals().scanEnded)
	waitForScanningToEnd()
	
api.imcontrol.stopRecording()

I found that you can export a list with all the API functions here:

    return pythontools.dictToROClass(exportedFuncs,
                                     missingAttributeErrorMsg=missingAttributeErrorMsg)

Is there any other way to do it in a more easy way? A bit complicated doing that all the time - perhaps having a document auto-generated from here with all the python stubs?

Now they are already automatically exported, you just have to add the decorator @APIExport before the function, I am not sure what you want to do sorry? You mean that they are exported without having to add the decorator?

Maybe just a doucment that lists all available functions that can be accessed from 3rd party scripts. I would need to have them if I'm about to wrap it e.g. for the Pyro client.

[kasasxav]

this script exports the functions to this document which is part of the readthedocs

Exactly what I wanted! :-)
