h4. DABS: MATLAB Interfaces to Hardware Devices

Current/planned releases of ScanImage include a MATLAB [package|http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/scoping-classes-with-packages.html] called *DABS*, which contains a growing number of adapter [classes|http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/object-oriented-programming-in-matlab.html], which makemaking hardware device capabilities available within MATLAB.

Note that Ephus does not currently use DABS. It makes use of two earlier-style Matlab device interfaces: [NiMex|NIMEX] and [QCamMex].

All recent and planned releases of ScanImage include a Matlab [package|http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_oop/scoping-classes-with-packages.html] called *DABS*, which contains a growing number of such device interface [classes|http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/object-oriented-programming-in-matlab.html].

DABS classes provide a MATLAB object-oriented scripting interface for the supported devices, which some users may find useful in and of themselves. For instance, the package *dabs.ni.daqmx* is a near complete wrapping of the National Instruments [DAQmx] driver into MATLAB. This package effectively recapitulates and extends upon the MATLAB [Data Acquisition Toolbox|http://www.mathworks.com/products/daq/]. 

DABS also includes generic interfaces (_abstract classes_) to facilitate the development of device adapters to a common standard. For instance a [Linear Stage Controller superclass|DABS Subclassing LSC] has been developed. Users can create custom subclasses for their particular stage controllers, allowing ScanImage to operate with these devices.

{info:title=DABS As-Is}Note that DABS interfaces are provided as-is. Their distribution/maintenance is not presently a primary aim of the ScanImage/Ephus projects.\\However, any issues affecting ScanImage/Ephus operation should be brought to the [developers' attention|mailto:iyerv@janelia.hhmi.org?subject=\[ScanImage/Ephus Feedback\]].{info}
