For many hardware devices supported by ScanImage & Ephus, custom software interfaces must be developed to allow their capabilities to be accessed via scripting in MATLAB. All recent and planned releases of ScanImage include a Matlab [package] called DABS, which contains a growing number of such device interface [classes].
DABS classes provide a MATLAB object-oriented scripting interface for the supported devices, which some users may find useful in and of themselves. For instance, the package dabs.ni.daqmx is a near complete wrapping of the National Instruments [DAQmx] driver into MATLAB. This package effectively recapitulates and extends upon the MATLAB [Data Acquisition Toolbox].
DABS also includes generic interfaces (abstract classes) to facilitate the development of device adapters to a common standard. For instance a Linear Stage Controller superclass has been developed. Users can create custom subclasses for their particular stage controllers, allowing ScanImage to operate with these devices.
Note that Ephus does not currently use DABS. It makes use of two earlier-style Matlab device interfaces: NiMex and QCamMex.
DABS As Is
Note that DABS interfaces are provided as-is. Their their distribution/maintenance is not presently a primary aim of the ScanImage/Ephus projects.
However, any issues affecting ScanImage/Ephus operation should be brought to the developers' attention
