NeuroPlex is a
comprehensive and user friendly software package for data acquisition
and analysis of optical imaging experiments.
The acquisition section has a variety of triggering and averaging
modes. This section also controls a shutter and stimulator and records
analog signals from eight BNC inputs. The acquisition section of the
program is specific to the hardware used for the NeuroPDA and NeuroCCD
systems.
The analysis section has extensive provisions for displaying traces
(intensity vs time) and movies of propagating activity.
The design of the software has benefited from customer suggestions. We
incorporate almost all of our user's suggestions about new features and
improvements.
Turbo-SM
is a new acquisition program we now offer with the
Neuro/CardioCCD-SM-II and the Neuro/CardioCMOS-WD series.
The program offers 3 acquisition modes -
live, record and single frame.
Recording/single frame can be intiated by external trigger. It controls
a shutter and stimulator and records analog signals from four BNC
inputs. It allows long recordings and outputs the data in
format that can be read by Neuroplex.
A *.fit format is also available for reading the data with ImageJ.
This is a new
package we now offer with the NeuroCCD-SM256 camera (and hope to offer
with other, newer cameras). This user friendly package is designed by
distinguished neuroscientists, and implements the complex stimulus
procedures (event triggered) commonly used in awake and anesthetized
mammalian studies.
The Acquisition module is written on an IDL platform and is based on
NeuroPlex principles of interface to the RedShirtImaging cameras. For
labs that do not have display and image analysis routines, we provide
“SumView”, a matlab based software package that can be used to
visualize optical imaging data collected by CortiPlex. The subroutines
can be used in developing your own analysis programs.
