I have tried using the COM/ActiveX interface in IDL 5.5 to talk to CCD
cameras from Roper Scientific (formerly Princeton Instruments) using their
COM interface. Basically it does not work from IDL, while it works fine
from Visual Basic.

I have discussed the problem with technical folks from RSI and they
understand that the problem is on their end. Here is an extract from their
response to my problem report:
