Enhancements

• Support for PXI-based DAQ boards (e.g. PXIe-6124) & USB X series boards (USB-6356)
• Allow scan angular range values up to 40 optical degrees
• Support input channel voltage ranges of 0.2, 0.5, and 20V
• Smarter beam parking to avoid large step transients on scan start
• Configurable delay for motor steps, to allow for motor 'settling' before starting next slice in a stack
• Configurable delay for shutter opening, to allow for shutter 'settling' before starting acquisition
• Support for slower line periods of 16-128ms
• Support for negative photodiode voltages
• 4-digit display for countdown/timer
• Support small frame sizes (e.g. < 32 lines) without generating TIF errors

Bugfixes

• Motor operation reliability issues eliminated, or greatly reduced
• Image data collected with Snapshot would disappear
• Scans driven by ROI/LS/CT selections were incorrectly positioned
• Change to fill fraction during FOCUS was producing error
• Scan delay values were corrupted switching between bidirectional and sawtooth scanning
• Power was being set incorrectly at end of P/z stacks when 'Return Home After Acq/Repeat' is disabled
• Pockels calibration now works in rejected-light case
• # Frames/File adjustment now accounts for # Z Slices and Average Frames settings correctly
• Zero XY and Zero Z operations no longer act like Zero XYZ
• Recent Zoom and other scan setting changes are now correctly honored at start of LOOP acquisitions
• TIF files where linesPerFrame is not a power-of-two are now correctly read by ImageJ
• Discontinuous slow-dimension scan command waveform fixed, for case where Flyback on final line is selected
• Hard error no longer occurs after some bad Pockels calibrations
• Fix support for Matlab 2009b, which was broken for case where exported clocks are used
• In User Functions dialog, edit operations could affect the wrong event, inadvertently
• Save selections in Channels... dialog were being ignored
• Crosshair was appearing doubled on ScanImage startup
• Override Lz was being applied even when start/end-points were not defined
• Error indicating insufficient buffering could occur when using slower imaging rates and with Disable Image Striping enabled
  *scim_openTif(): error was occurring for cases when channels selected for saving are not contiguous

• All graphical interaction tools (line scan/ROI/power box selection) now use new functions (independent of Image Processing toolbox) with improved stability – and ability to cancel, using escape/delete.

Bugfixes

• Power Box 'OUT' value now works
• Error when parking laser for case of 2 or more beams is fixed
• 'Discard Flyback Line' option could cause errors in makeFrameByStripes() for certain scan parameters
• The 'z' hotkey (which goes to zero motor position) no longer has effect if a relative origin has not been set
• Histogram/Statistics features are working again
