Versions:
Thorlabs CHROLIS – Instrument Driver 3.1.2220.129 is a compact, single-version software package released by Thorlabs GmbH that supplies the complete set of low-level device and instrument drivers required to integrate the company’s CHROLIS family of hyperspectral cameras, light engines, and related accessories into custom test, measurement, and automation environments. The installer bundles three mutually compatible driver stacks—Interop, VXIplug&play, and an officially maintained LabVIEW library—giving developers freedom to code in C/C++, C#, Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or any environment that supports VISA or .NET calls. Typical use cases range from academic spectroscopy setups that need synchronized wavelength switching and acquisition, to OEM machine-vision lines where tight temporal control of multispectral illumination and camera triggering is critical, to R&D labs automating fluorescence or absorbance mapping across large sample areas. Because the package exposes the same command set through all three interfaces, legacy VXIplug&play scripts can coexist with new .NET or LabVIEW modules without rewriting hardware-level code, simplifying migration and mixed-language projects. The 3.1.2220.129 build is the first and therefore current public release, providing 64-bit Windows support, NI-VISA and Keysight VISA compatibility, and a set of ready-to-run example projects that demonstrate continuous scanning, buffered acquisition, and hardware-timed sequencing. Installation registers the CHROLIS devices under Windows Device Manager and populates the NI MAX instrument tree, allowing immediate verification of connectivity and basic functional tests before application code is deployed. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
