Never give up. Consider asking people with more knowledge on the SANE mailing list

Present your findings and someone might immediately have further pointers.

 

The sensor is more or less a camera that registers light that is emited when xray hits the sensor.

 

The so called sensor is a highly integrated package with most of the smarts inside the sensor head.

 

From what I read it is always on meaning once plugged into USB it is ready to transmit. Just like your average webcam.

 

The trick now is to read the data off the sensor. Supposedly it gives a continous stream and it is up to the receiving software to make some sense out of this.

 

For different sensor there is some interesting information here

Have you asked the manufacturer for information on using this as a twain device ?
