-The Data Acquisition (DAQ) Software developed for this project and provided through this wiki supports live streaming, syncing, and recording from up to two video sources. The software gives the user full control of camera properties (such as gain, exposure, frame rate) as well as controls the power of the excitation LED. Written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio, the software uses Open Computer Visions (OpenCV) to connect, control, and stream video data.

The software gives the user full control of camera properties (such as gain, exposure, frame rate) as well as controls the power of the excitation LED. Written in C++ using Microsoft Visual Studio, the software uses the Open Source Computer Vision Library(OpenCV) to connect, control, and stream video data.
-When a video source (microscope or behavioral camera) is connected, a new processing thread is created which constantly polls the video source for a new frame. If the video is being recorded to disk, an addition thread is created which handles writing video data to disk without adding any overhead to the acquisition threads. While not fully implemented yet, the multithreaded nature of the software can support online image processing and real-time feedback without affecting data acquisition.

 :B. Pixel values above the Saturation Threshold we be displayed as black. This give you an idea of if you are saturating the imaging sensor. This does not affect the data being saved, only the live stream display.
 :C. The left 2 boxes show the current minimum and maximum pixel values. The right 2 boxes allow you to adjust black and white display levels. This does not affect the data being saved, only the live stream display.

 :F. Once the Miniscope is connected, the 'Screen Shot' button will save the current frame of the Miniscope data steam to a .png.
