Digitizer Hardware
Digitizer hardware is needed required for imaging based on resonant and/or galvo scanning.
...
ScanImage 5 Resonant will use National Instruments PXI FlexRIO platform. The system consists of a: PXI chassis, FPGA Module, and digitizer module.
For ScanImage 5 users, National Instruments has prepared the following system bundles for 4 recommended configurations:
...
PXIe-7961R
(Smaller FPGA)
...
PXI Chassis: PXIe-1073 chassis typical. More advanced chassis supported as well.
FPGA Module: PXIe-7961R (smaller FPGA) & PXIe-7966R (larger FPGA) supported
Digitizer Module: NI 5732 (2 Chans/80MHz
...
) & NI 5734 (4 Chans/120MHz
...
)
...
supported
Users can refer to "Vidrio ScanImage 5" to configure a standard ScanImage 5 system with National Instruments.
...
Notes
- 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.Bundles above use the PXIe-1073 chassis.
- This 5-slot 'remote controller' chassis connects to the computer via a PCIe (PCI Express) card. Both PCIe card and cable are included. Other chassis (with remote or included controller) can also be used.
- 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.
Galvo Scanning
ScanImage 5 Galvo will support the following input digitizer options:
| Family | Model Number(s) | Comments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PCIe X Series | PCIe-6351, PCIe-6353 | PCIe-6351/6353 recommended for no-Pockels/Pockels cases, respectively | ||
| PXIe X Series | PXIe-6356, PXIe-6358 | PXIe boards fit into chassis used for resonant scanning (if applicable). PXIe-6356/6358 recommended for no-Pockels/Pockels cases, respectively. | USB X Series | USB-6351, USB-6353, USB-6356 | USB-6351/6353 recommended for
| S Series | PCI-6110 | Not recommended for new systems, but will remain supported |
