I looked briefly at the code you referenced below - and it does not 
remind me at all of the functionality of the Spectrocam SDK, not even 
the low-level one. I may be wrong, but I would be really surprised, if 
this driver would work with the Spectrocam. Another issue is that 
Spectrocam's origin was a company named Spectrostar, which was later 
acquired by Avantes. Thus, IMO Spectrocam may well differ from other 
Avantes Spectrometers.
