ScanImage 3.6.1 is a recommended service pack release, with important enhancements/bugfixes.

Mind your Versions!

The Matlab and National Instruments DAQmx version compatibility guide are requirements, not recommendations. Problems have been encountered using versions newer than those listed.

Enhancements

  • Allow 2048 pixels/line
  • All graphical interaction tools (line scan/ROI/power box selection) now use new functions (independent of Image Processing toolbox) with improved stability – and ability to cancel, using escape/delete.

Bugfixes

  • Power Box 'OUT' value now works
  • Error when parking laser for case of 2 or more beams is fixed
  • 'Discard Flyback Line' option could cause errors in makeFrameByStripes() for certain scan parameters
  • The 'z' hotkey (which goes to zero motor position) no longer has effect if a relative origin has not been set
  • Histogram/Statistics features are working again

ScanImage 3.6 has been developed primarily to support fast raster scanning – bidirectional scanning, in particular, as well as faster sawtooth scanning – providing a 4x increase in the line scan rate compared to ScanImage 3.5 and earlier versions (0.5ms/line vs 2ms/line typically used in earlier versions).

ScanImage 3.6 makes significant changes to core scanning functionality. There are both changes at the user interface level (the CONFIGURATION dialog is completely revamped) as well as under the hood. Users familiar with earlier releases should expect a short learning period to become familiar with the new scan parameters and user interface.

ScanImage 3.6 adds significant performance enhancements to the 'streaming' functions – those which are executed as callbacks to process incoming data during live acquisition. As a result, display/processing/disk-logging can be sustained for high frame rate imaging, up to >60fps, using readily available and inexpensive computer hardware.

ScanImage 3.6 removes several features that were visible in earlier versions: PowerBox Stepper, ROI Cycler, UncagingMapper, and Custom Timings. These specialty features have not been widely used/tested to include with the current release. They may be recapitulated in the future. In addition, ScanImage 3.6 disables Cycle mode operation, which provides ability to program stage movements between acquisitions. However, Cycle mode operation has been restored and tested in ScanImage 3.5.1, which is being co-released with ScanImage 3.6. It is planned to add Cycle mode operation back to a future ScanImage release.
