h5. ScanImage Software Installation
(_Instructions pertain to versions 3.x_; instructions for version 4.0 forthcoming.)
# Create a ScanImage folder at desired path location (_suggestions_: C:\Program Files\ScanImage or C:\My Documents\Matlab\ScanImage). Location is referred to hereafter as <ScanImage>.

# Download ZIP file from table above and extract its contents into the ScanImage folder. This creates a version folder <ScanImage>\<Version#>.

# Launch Matlab and select _Set Path..._ from the _File_ menu

# Press the button _Add with Subfolders..._ and, when prompted, select the directory <ScanImage>\<Version#>. This adds all the ScanImage installation contents to the top of the Matlab search path

# Copy the file _standard_model.ini_ from <ScanImage>\<Version#>\ScanImage\init_files to a desired path location (typical location: C:\Data\Config\ScanImage). Rename the file to _standard.ini_.

 
# Modify the values in _standard.ini_ according to your rig and experimental situation. For more information, see [ScanImage INI File Overview].
