Finding the optimal sample clock phase

Some time ago we talked about the advantages of synchronizing the digitizer sample clock to the laser.  Our new system incorporates an on-board PLL multi-phase clock that allows Scanbox to automatically measure the contrast in a test image as a function of sample phase delay and select the optimal value for your setup. A typical measurement…

Using the correct range and bias for PMT amplifiers

Update[6/1/2018]: Please update Scanbox to make this feature work correctly.  An error in the code of earlier versions incorrectly set the gain for fixed-type amplifiers (variable type amplifiers were handled correctly).  An alternative, easy way to fix the issue without having to update Scanbox is to search for the constant INPUT_RANGE_PM_1V in scanbox.m and replace…
