Release Schedule

ScanImage 5 will first be released in two planned steps, SI 5.0 (Resonant) and SI 5.1 (Galvo and Multi-scanner)2014. The next version, ScanImage 2015, will add new features to ScanImage 5.

Release		Comments

SI 5 .0
(Resonant)

May 16 22 2014 (beta)SFN 2014

Recapitulate ScanImage 4 (resonant scanning) features with
more flexible and powerful NI FPGA (FlexRIO) hardware.

SI 5.12015
(Galvo & Multi)

SFN 2014 2014  (beta)
&
March 2015 (official)

SFN 2015
  • By SFN 2014: Galvo scanning features recapitulating ScanImage 3, plus arbitrary scanning modes
    • By March 2015: Combine galvo and resonant scanning capabilities, plus new multi-scanner modes for photostimulation, random-access imaging, and photoablation applicationsNew features beyond ScanImage 5, including galvo arb-scanning,
    multi-scanner, and other features specified by ScanImage 5 members.

    Early-access releases will be available exclusively to ScanImage 5 members.

    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.   

    (tick) Vidrio completed an SI5.0 alpha version back in March!!

    ...

    ScanImage 2015 will support the same scanner/digitizer hardware as ScanImage 5

    ...

    ScanImage 5 Scanner Hardware

    ScanImage 5

    ...

    requires a pair of scanners (one resonant and one galvo scanner) to achieve video-rate area scanning operation. 

    ...

    ScanImage 5

    ...

    users can choose either:

    • scanner system that combines a resonant scanner and galvo scanner

    • scanner components - one resonant scanner and one galvo scanner

    ...

    ScanImage 5

    ...

    Scanner Systems

    Sutter Instrument systems:

    ...

    ScanImage 5 Resonant Scanner Components

    Cambridge Technology components

    • CRS 8Khz (part 6SC08KA012-02Y)
    • CRS 12Khz (part 6SC12KA012-02Y)
    • Classic CRS-8 scanner 

    ...

    ScanImage 5 Galvo Scanner Components 

    Any analog-driven galvo scanner component, including galvanometer-mounted mirror and servo driver circuit, can be used.

    ...

    (tick) Class 0 servo topology is recommended, but not required

    ...

    ScanImage 5 DAQ Hardware

    ScanImage 5 .0 will use National Instruments PXI FlexRIO platform.

    SI ScanImage 5 .0 has required, user-selected, and user-optional DAQ components

    Tip

    Stay tuned for a National Instruments ScanImage 5 configuration tool

    We anticipate this may include small discounts on hardware

    ...

    User-Selected DAQ Components 

    ...

    For SI 5, there will be no difference in operation. 

    Features in future versions (SI 2015 & beyond) may utilize the far
    greater (~10x) image processing power of the PXIe-7975RThe PXIe-7975R has far greater ( ~10x) image processing power.
    This is anticipated to support future applications, e.g. closed-loop experiments .

    Tip
    titlePXIe-7961 loaners

    The PXIe-7975R option will be supported by ScanImage 5 by August 2014.

    Vidrio tentatively has access to a small pool of PXIe-7961R loaners

    Loaners are intended for users who purchase a PXIe-7975R
    but need to start using ScanImage 5 sooner than August. Contact membersupport@vidriotech.com if interested.

    User-Optional DAQ Components 

    Users can add additional boards for control of Beams (Pockels) and Piezo features.
    (tick) Beams control is recommended. Allows blanking laser during resonant scanner slowdown and galvo scanner flyback.
    (tick) Piezo control is optional. Allows for volume imaging
    For each optional feature desired, select one of the following X series DAQ boards:

    (info) PCIe-6321 option is cheaper, but requires additional wiring and uses a computer PCIe slot
