Release Schedule

ScanImage 5 will first be released in two planned steps, SI 5.0 (Resonant) and SI 5.1 (Galvo and Multi-scanner)2014. The next version, ScanImage 2015, will add new features to ScanImage 5 and be released in two early-access steps before public release at SFN 2015.

SI 5 .0
(Resonant)

May 16 22 2014SFN 2014

Recapitulate ScanImage 4 (resonant scanning) features with
more flexible and powerful NI FPGA (FlexRIO) hardware.

SI 5.12015
(Galvo & Multi)

SFN 2014 &
March 2015

SFN 2015
  • By SFN 2014: Galvo scanning features recapitulating ScanImage 3, plus arbitrary scanning modes
  • By March 2015: Combine galvo and resonant scanning capabilities, plus new multi-scanner modes for photostimulation, random-access imaging, and photoablation applications
 

Early-access releases will be available exclusively to ScanImage 5 members.

...

(tick) Vidrio completed an SI5.0 alpha version back in March!!

...

  • SI5.0 Scanner Hardware

  • ScanImage 5.0 requires a pair of scanners (one resonant and one galvo scanner) to achieve video-rate area scanning operation. 

  • SI 5.0 users can choose either:

  • scanner system that combines a resonant scanner and galvo scanner

  • scanner components - one resonant scanner and one galvo scanner

  • SI 5.0 Scanner Systems

  • Sutter Instrument systems:

  • SI 5.0 Resonant Scanner Components

  • Cambridge Technology components
    • CRS 8Khz (part 6SC08KA012-02Y)
    • CRS 12Khz (part 6SC12KA012-02Y)
    • Classic CRS-8 scanner 

  • SI 5.0 Galvo Scanner Components 

Any analog-driven galvo scanner component, including galvanometer-mounted mirror and servo driver circuit, can be used.

...

(tick) Class 0 servo topology is recommended, but not required

...

  • SI5.0 DAQ Hardware

ScanImage 5.0 will use National Instruments PXI FlexRIO platform.

...

Tip

Stay tuned for a National Instruments ScanImage 5 configuration tool

We anticipate this may include small discounts on hardware

  • Required DAQ Components 

  • User-Selected DAQ Components 

Digitizer Module

Tip
titlePXIe-7961 loaners

The PXIe-7975R option will be supported by ScanImage 5 by August 2014.

Vidrio has a small pool of PXIe-7961R loaners

Loaners are intended for users who purchase a PXIe-7975R
but need to start using ScanImage 5 sooner than August

  • User-Optional DAQ Components 

Users can add additional boards for control of Beams (Pockels) and Piezo features.
(tick) Beams control is recommended. Allows blanking laser during resonant scanner slowdown and galvo scanner flyback.
(tick) Piezo control is optional. Allows for volume imaging
For each optional feature desired, select one of the following X series DAQ boards:

(info) PCIe-6321 option is cheaper, but requires additional wiring and uses a computer PCIe slot
