We're looking to build a new transient absorption microscopy set up in our lab, and we're considering using ScanImage software (which is written in MATLAB) to control our new XY galvo mirrors, and a photon counting module, as well as some new piezo translation stages. However, we'd like to be able to continue using our old LabVIEW VI's to control our laser, optical parametric oscillator and delay stage, which are already installed and controlled in LabVIEW.
I know that data can be transferred between LabVIEW and Matlab relatively easily, but what about VI's for hardware control?
Does anyone have any experience using ScanImage and LabVIEW simultaneously? Could our VI's be converted into ScanImage (or vice versa), or would we have to completely rewrite them?
