Scanbox tower (aka as the PizzaBox) has 4 external TTL Event inputs on the top row of the SMA connector matrix, outlined in light blue in the picture below. These inputs should be 5V TTL signals. Either the rising, falling or both edges of the signal can be time stamped. This is determined by…

Eye Tracking
In addition to tracking the movement of the ball one may want to track eye position along with pupil size. Once again, we use a Dalsa Genie GigE camera to image the eye. Conveniently, it turns out that if you are imaging near 920 nm, there is sufficient light that makes its way through the brain and out of the pupil. Thus, the…
Read MoreSynchronize to the Laser
Scanbox makes sure the data acquisition of the signals from the photo-multipliers are synchronized to the laser pulse. Let me explain why. Suppose you run an asynchronous data acquisition clock at 25Mhz while the laser has a pulse rate of 80Mhz. Then you may obtain images of single cells that look like this: This is…
