The support for Andor Apogee cameras offered here is built on an Open Source
library provided by The Random Factory.  A copy of the original source is in 
../libapogee, as are our additions to provide a layer between the C++ code of
the library and the C code of XmCCD.

The Alta and Aspen models have been tested with their USB interface.  Other
models should work with a wrapper to the library modified from the examples
given in libapogee.

Although Andor Apogee does offer a filterwheel, we do not explicitly include it in
this driver because we have no way to test it. This driver will issue a request
to a system script "set_camera_filter #" which is expected to send the request
to an external filter wheel.  The script routine in the source code 
is an example of how this is done.  There is a program included for the
Optec IFW filter wheels.  To enable the external filter wheel, set the
appropriate "define" in protocol.h.
