For resonant scanned raster imaging, the following both digitizer /hardware and scanner hardware is are required:.

Digitizer Hardware

Tip

Users should order from NI using National Instruments (NI) offers Bundle ID BD25410 or ("Vidrio ScanImage 5") to configure a standard ScanImage 5 system with National Instruments NI representatives, rather than purchasing separate components below. This will be less error-prone and it includes the required accessories. This bundle is provided for the convenience of ScanImage 5 users - there is no mark-up cost.

ScanImage 5 Resonant will use National Instruments PXI FlexRIO platform.
The system consists of athree components: PXI chassis, FPGA Module, and digitizer module.

Component TypeSI5 Supported PartsComments
PXI ChassisPXIe-1073 chassis
  •  The The PXIe-1073 is a 5-slot 'remote controller' chassis connecting to the computer via a PCIe (PCI Express) card. Both PCIe card and cable are included.
  • More advanced chassis options will work as well.
FPGA Module

PXIe-7961R

 

  • PXIe-7975R will also be supported, after August 2014. It offers greater processing power than 7961R, allowing more real-time image processing possibilities.
    In August 2014, NI will add support for NI 5732/4 digitizer modules with the PXIe-7975.
  • PXIe-7962R will also be supported (bitfiles provided), but not as extensively tested

Scanner Hardware

Note
titleTesting New Scanner Hardware

Cambridge Technology is recently offering a new CRS Resonant Scanner Driver board. This offers improved synhronization and is optimized for use with the maximal angle versions of their CRS scanner products.

Vidrio engineers have ordered this scanner and will test this new scanner system before April 1, 2014. (System 6SC08KA012-02Y with new 711-80159)

Prospective ScanImage 5 users are advised to wait for this testing before committing to a scanner hardware purchase.

ScanImage 5 is expected to work with classic CRS scanner systems, but potentially with small additional electronics or reduced scan angle.

Tip

Sutter Instrument company can provide a scanner assembly with offers a Resonant Scan Box component combining the required components in a sound-proof housing, with accompanying electronics housing. If interested, please contact Rick Ayer at Sutter.. This system will be compatible with ScanImage 5.

As of this date, the Sutter scanner system operates with the classic

For resonant scanned raster imaging, users require 1x each of:

...

Galvo Scanner: Cambridge Technologies 6210 or 6215 galvo system (typ. with 4-6mm mirror), with servo control board. Other analog-control galvos also supported.

Notes

(warning) CRS-12 support may will not be ready by ScanImage 5 prerelease. Its support is planned by ScanImage 5 release date.
