Resonant Scanning Hardware

Digitizer For resonant scanned raster imaging, the following digitizer/scanner hardware is required for imaging based on resonant and/or galvo scanning.

:

Digitizer Hardware

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

...

• National Instruments can include extended warranty support for the hardware bundles, You will be given the option when placing the order. Please discuss with your local sales rep if you have questions.
• ScanImage 5 will include pre-complied FPGA bitfiles - one for each of the four FPGA/Digitizer combinations above. Theis whitepaper shows how to download bitfiles to FPGA hardware.
• The PXIe-7962R FPGA module will likely also be supported (bitfiles provided), but this will not be as extensively tested.
• The 7961R is suited for core imaging capabilities and limited future extensibility. The 7966 supports greater future extensibility.
• The standard PXIe-1073 chassis is a 5-slot 'remote controller' chassis connecting to the computer via a PCIe (PCI Express) card. Both PCIe card and cable are included.

Scanner Hardware

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

Resonant Scanner: Cambridge Technologies CRS-8 or CRS-12 scanner. Includes control board.

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

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

Notes

• Sutter can provide a scanner assembly with sound-proof housing, with accompanying electronics housing. If interested, please contact Rick Ayer at Sutter.
• Galvo system's max slew rate can impact the frame rate achievable at larger fields-of-view. Slower slew rates require a larger number of resonant scanner line periods for galvo flyback.

Galvo Scanning Hardware

For galvo scanned raster imaging and future scan modes:

Digitizer Hardware

ScanImage 5 Galvo will support the following input digitizer options:

Galvo Scanning

For galvo scanned raster imaging and future scan modes, users require XY galvo scanner pair. An X/Y analog-controlled galvo scanner pair is required.  Cambridge Technologies 6210 or 6215 galvo system (typ. with 3-6mm mirrors) and other analog-control galvo systems are supportedis typical. Galvo system characteristics impact attainable line speed and performance of future scan modes.
