Data Acquisition Control

[Mike Ingle]

Hi All,

I am looking into controlling our microwave imaging system using imageJ.
 We presently have a "C" DLL which is used for LABVIEW and "C" programs.
 Additionally I have ported the data acquisition library to MATLAB.

Just to be clear, we do not have a standard labview library, but rather use
a custom "C" DLL.

Are there any examples demonstrating how to make a custom instrument
control plugin?

I am also open to a tcp-ip solution, where I provide a server controlling
the data acq board, and imageJ controls via tcp-ip.  I am leaning towards
this method as opposed to direct imageJ control.

Any guidance and examples would be deeply appreciated.

Best Regards,  Mike Ingle

With JNA you can have an access to your  "C" DLL from ImageJ pluging.

Hi Mike,

Have you looked at how MicroManager works (http://www.micro-manager.org)? They basically have a similar problem for controlling microscopes using low-level drivers, that might give you a few interesting pointers to start from…
