About This Release

ScanImage 3.5 has been developed primarily to support ScanImage users who no longer have ready access to the older Matlab version for which earlier ScanImage releases had been developed. ScanImage 3.5 is known to be compatible with Matlab 2007b. In addition, it is now compatible with the newer National Instruments driver (DAQmx), rather than the Traditional NI-DAQ driver required by earlier ScanImage releases.

ScanImage 3.5 is very similar to 3.0 and new users may want to refer to the ScanImage r3.0 Documentation to become familiar with this software.

Changes

However, some important changes have been made, as described in the documentation section Important Changes in ScanImage 3.5. Notably:

  • The Selection Dialog no longer appears at startup
  • The handling of the INI file has changed somewhat and the Rig Configuration section of the model file supplied with the release has been considerably modified
  • The board wiring required for trigger and clock synchronization has been modified
  • The Main Controls window has several modifications

New Features

In addition to these changes, several new features have been added to ScanImage 3.5 to help support ongoing experiments by ScanImage users at Janelia Farm Research Campus. The documentation for ScanImage r3.5 describes these changes and new features.

  • Live RGB channel 'merge' display during Focus mode
  • Unlimited & uninterrupted acquisitions via TIF streaming-to-disk
  • Ability to accept external trigger, using separate trigger input terminal (e.g. facilitates Ephus-driven acquisitions)
  • Enhanced MP-285 interface and configuration
  • Improved support for case of 3 'beams' (i.e. 3 Pockels Cells)
  • Tools to facilitate beam and scan alignment
  • Enhanced 'hot-key' functionality to support rapid program control and configuration switching

Bug Fixes

A handful of bugs identified in ScanImage 3.0 have been addressed in this release.

About Upcoming Releases

Version 3.6 will be released soon after this version, adding features to support bidirectional and an improved sawtooth scanning user interface. This version will serve to support users requiring somewhat faster imaging.
