ScanImage 5 uses the National Instruments FlexRIO platform for the core acquisition and control tasks for resonant two-photon laser scanning microscopy
SI5 supports a handful of pre-specified FlexRIO system configurations
Required/Recommended
Role | Item(s) | Performance characteristics |
---|---|---|
Chassis/controller | PXIe-1073 | |
Scan Control DAQ | PXIe-6341 | NI PXI-based X Series DAQ |
Digitizer | One of | NI Digitizer Module
|
FPGA Module | NI PXI-based FlexRIO Module. The PXIe-7975R is also supported, but not typically recommended. Contact us if any questions. |
Optional
Additional X Series multifunction DAQ boards for some features:
Purpose | Options | Notes |
---|---|---|
Pockels control | PCIe-6321 or PXIe-6341 | Highly recommended - allows blanking laser during resonant scanner slowdown and galvo scanner flyback |
Piezo/Fast Z control | PCIe-6321 or PXIe-6341 | Allows for volume imaging applications |
Compatible Devices
Any X Series PCIe/PXIe multifunction DAQ board should be compatible such as:
Device | Usage |
---|---|
PCIe-6363 or PXIe-6363 | High I/O resource board - allows multiple systems (galvo control, FastZ, Beams) to run of a single board |
PXIe-6356 | Simultaneously sampled AI - allows consistent high speed data acquisition across many channels |
Vidrio Technologies offers National Instruments hardware bundles, to help users create valid configurations. If you also order a ScanImage optimized computer from us at the same time, Vidrio will install ScanImage and create a custom machine data file for your system.
