I like the robustness and mechanics of Narishige products, but the electronics of the motorized controllers need to be updated to allow for remote control. I recently got this motorized axis, along with the compact controller. Unfortunately, the system has no way to be controlled via serial commands or any other way, which prevented us…

TTL synchronization
The simplest way to synchronize external stimulation with the microscope data collection is for the user to generate a TTL signal that is HIGH when the stimulus is on and LOW when it is off. This signal should be split and connected to the TTL1 input of Scanbox and the AUX1 input of the Alazartech card…

[Updated Dec 2015] Integrating a Scanbox-controlled microscope with your system rather pretty straightforward after you understand how the system samples external events and how it can be controlled over the network. Monitoring external TTL events When Scanbox runs it monitors external events on its TTL inputs. Two TTL inputs, labeled TTL0 and TTL1, are readily available as SMA…
