ScanImage 3.5.1 is a reorganized version of ScanImage 3.5(.0). The directory and configuration reorganization is designed to allow a smoother upgrade to 3.6.x, including the use of the same INI file for both versions.

ENHANCEMENTS

  • The Spine Analysis software used in work such as Holtmaat et al is made available as part of the ScanImage release as scim_spineAnalysis()

BUGFIXES

  • Ensure that 'safe' hot key setting for fast configs is actually honored
  • Ensure that current configuration is saved correctly with the USR file (BUG 5375731 reported by Spencer Smith)
  • GUI handling is now correct when focus is ended without an ABORT
  • All header fields designated in INI file are now programatically marshalled for saving upon calling updateHeaderForAcquisition.m

ScanImage 3.5 has been developed primarily to support ScanImage users who no longer have ready access to the older Matlab version for which earlier ScanImage releases had been developed. ScanImage 3.5 is known to be compatible with Matlab 2007b. In addition, it is now compatible with the newer National Instruments driver (DAQmx), rather than the Traditional NI-DAQ driver required by earlier ScanImage releases.

ScanImage 3.5 is very similar to 3.0 and new users may want to refer to the ScanImage r3.0 Documentation to become familiar with this software.

Changes

However, some important changes have been made. New and returning users should familiarize themselves with the documentation of the Important Changes in ScanImage 3.5. Notably:

  • The Selection Dialog no longer appears at startup
  • The handling of the INI file, which must be created by the user, has changed somewhat.
  • The board wiring required for trigger and clock synchronization has been modified
  • The Main Controls window has several modifications

New Features

In addition to these changes, several new features have been added to ScanImage 3.5 to help support ongoing experiments by ScanImage users at HHMI/Janelia Farm Research Campus. These and other Important New Features in ScanImage 3.5 are described fully in the documentation:

  • Live RGB channel 'merge' display during Focus mode
  • Unlimited & uninterrupted acquisitions via TIF streaming-to-disk
  • Ability to accept external trigger, using separate trigger input terminal (e.g. facilitates Ephus-driven acquisitions)
  • Enhanced MP-285 interface and configuration
  • Improved support for case of 3 'beams' (i.e. 3 Pockels Cells)
  • Tools to facilitate beam and scan alignment
  • Enhanced 'hot-key' functionality to support rapid program control and configuration switching

Bug Fixes

A handful of bugs identified in ScanImage 3.0 have been addressed in this release.
