Ephus and ScanImage interface to a growing range of hardware devices. Frequently, custom software interfaces to these devices must be developed, allowing their capabilities to be accessed via scripting in Matlab.
Dabs
New device interfaces are most recently being written as part of a growing Matlab package called Dabs. This package is intended to underlie both ScanImage and Ephus going forward. ScanImage 3.7 begins to make use of the Dabs package, including a new interface to the National Instruments DAQmx
driver. Further information will become available about Dabs in the near future.
