Help using an AvaSpec spectrometer with python

I need help finding a library that allows me to connect an AvaSpec-ULS2048CL-EVO spectrometer from Avantes to a python script to get live readings from it.

So far I found avaread which allows me to read files from the Avasoft 8 software. But that would require me to save a file each time I need to make a measurement and then run the code which would be inefficient because I need to make a lot of measurements just to get one result.

Is there any other way to connect the spectrometer to my code? or has anyone tried anything similar?

Does anyone know the stepsize of this micrometer head

I'm using it to move a sliding stage and i need the stepsize. My guess is 0.25mm but, unlike other micrometers I've seen , the head is divided in 25 sections instead of 50 so I'm not sure. I tried finding the model online but couldn't find it
