Overview

ScanImage 5 will be released in two parts, SI5-Resonant and SI5-Flex.

 Early-Access
Release(s) 		ReleaseComments

SI5-Resonant
(5.0)

May 16 2014SFN 2014
  • Recapitulate ScanImage 4 (resonant scanning) features with
    more flexible and powerful NI FPGA (FlexRIO) hardware.
SI5-Flex
(5.1) 

SFN 2014 &
March 2015

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 applications

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.   

SI5-Alpha

Vidrio has completed an SI5.0 alpha version using the NI FPGA (FlexRIO) hardware. The SI5 early-access release for May 2014 is on track!


SI5.0 Scanner Hardware

ScanImage 5.0 requires a pair of scanners (one resonant and one galvo scanner) to achieve video-rate area scanning operation. 

This pair can be ordered as a system, or as individual components

SI 5.0 supports the following scanner systems (resonant and galvo scanner combo) and components (separate resonant and galvo scanner items):

SI 5.0 Scanner Systems

The following systems combine a resonant scanner and galvo scanner into a single package/system

SI 5.0 Resonant Scanner Components

The following resonant scanner components will work with SI5

SI 5.0 Galvo Scanner Components 

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

The following are typical choices from Cambridge Technology

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

 

SI5.0 DAQ Hardware

ScanImage 5.0 will use National Instruments PXI FlexRIO platform.

SI 5.0 has required, user-selected, and user-optional DAQ components

Stay tuned for a National Instruments ScanImage 5 configuration tool

We anticipate this may include small discounts on hardware

Required DAQ Components 

User-Selected DAQ Components 

FPGA Module

Digitizer Module

User-Optional DAQ Components 

Users can add additional boards for control of Beams (Pockels) and Piezo features.
(tick) Beams control allows blanking laser during resonant scanner slowdown and galvo scanner flyback - highly recommended to protect tissue
(tick) Piezo control allows for volume imaging
For each optional feature desired, select one of the following X series DAQ boards:
  • PCIe-6321 - inserted into computer PCIe slot. C
  • PXIe-6341 - inserted into PXIe-1073 chassis

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

  

Computer Hardware

Example tested ScanImage 5 computer systems will be provided by the early-access release date.
