Overview

ScanImage 5 will 1) :

1. unify resonant and galvo scanning capabilities; and

...

2. support the use of generic resonant scanning hardware with FPGA processing. 

By version 5.1, ScanImage 5 will support hardware configurations with combinations of experiments combining resonant and galvo scanning (by SI 5.1).

ScanImage 5 will have  customization layers for both CPU and FPGA-based processing (latter for resonant scanned imaging only) which can be used to implement online or real-time analysis, including closed-loop experiments with parallel imaging and (photo)stimulus.

Resonant Scanning Hardware

...

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

Users should order from NI using Bundle ID BD25410 or "Vidrio ScanImage 5" to configure a standard ScanImage 5 system with National Instruments representatives.

The NI system bundles with SI5 support include:

PXI Chassis: PXIe-1073 chassis typical. More advanced chassis supported as well.

...

Digitizer Module: NI 5732 (2 Chans/80MHz) & NI 5734 (4 Chans/120MHz) supported

...

• 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.
