Miniscope Control and Acquisition Software
Our DAQ software was custom built for our microscope system. It is written in C++ using Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) and uses Open Computer Vision (OpenCV) for image acquisition and online image processing. The software is multi-threaded and provides a completely independent thread for online image processing for real-time feedback. This software has the following features
- Connects to both the microscope imaging sensor and behavioral camera and syncs/time stamps frame acquisition from both cameras
- Adjustable ROI for behavioral camera
- Exposure and gain control
- Display of saturated pixels
- Monochromatic and color imaging sensor display. Color sensor display can remove individual color channels
- Dual LED intensity control
- Display of current read and write frame rates
- Programmable recording length
- Time stamped note taking during recording
