Flag patient follow-ups on the Start screen Combined with ResMed’s revolutionary S9™ Series and premium masks, the ResScan Patient Management System provides a comprehensive solution for achieving the highest level of patient. ResScan is a program released by the software company ResMed Ltd. Frequently, people want to uninstall this program. This can be efortful because doing this by hand takes some skill related to removing Windows programs manually. ResScan allows the tracking of long-term clinical and compliance trends using summary graphs, and allows the review of device settings and key clinical indices via easy-to-read statistics. Compatible with most ResMed therapy devices, ResScan data can be collected via the Data Card or USB, depending on the device.
Skip to end of metadataGo to start of metadataIconThe ResScan Imaging System is used when a resonant scanning system (or Vidrio Technologies RMR) is configured and NI FlexRIO hardware is selected. The screenshot below shows an example of this configuration in the Machine Configuration Editor (accessed by selecting the Machine Configuration... option in the File Menu on the Main Controls panel).
The ResScan acquisition system is the minimum hardware required for raster image scanning.
It consists of a PXIe chassis which is connected to a PC via a PCI Express card. The PXIe chassis has at least two cards installed:
- Digitizer: A FlexRIO card with a digitizer module attached.
- Scan Control DAQ: An X-Series DAQ board.
For Thorlabs systems, see Thorlabs Scope Wiring below
For all other systems, connect according to the schematic at right:
- Connect lines from PMT amplifiers to the analog inputs on the digitizer module.
- Connect the resonant mirror's Period Trigger to PFI0 on the breakout for the scan control DAQ.
- Connect the control line for the X Zoom to an analog output on the breakout for the scan control DAQ.
- Connect the control line for the Y Mirror to an analog output on the breakout for the scan control DAQ.
- Connect any necessary Acquisition Triggering (Start, Next, Loop) to PFI1-4. These connections are configured using the Triggers Contol.
- To configure a Shutter for ResScan, review the article Shutter Configuration
- Beams
- Fast Z Concepts
- Signals Summary
- Configure ScanImage
The Beams subsystem requires its own DAQ module. There are two supported configurations.
For both:
- connect calibration inputs to the desired analog input terminals.
- connect control lines to the desired analog outputs.
PXI-based
The relevant timing signals are communicated through the PXI backplane; no extra wiring is needed.
PCIe-based
Connect PFI5 of the scan control DAQ breakout box to the PFI terminal on the Beam DAQ board.
The settings for the routing of triggers are accessed in the Power Modulation (Beams) section of the ScanImage Machine Configuration Editor.
In this case, select 'PFI0' for the Line Clock Input Terminal:
IconThe Pockels Cell (Beams) control task is a timed Daqmx Task. Due to Daqmx limitations on timing resources this requires the Pockels Cell to run on a Daq card by itself. Other timed tasks such as Galvo control or FastZ piezo control must run on separate Daq boards.
The Fast Z subsystem requires its own DAQ module. There are two supported configurations.
For both:
- connect the control line to the desired analog output.
PXI-based
The relevant timing signals are communicated through the PXI backplane; no extra wiring is needed.
PCIe-based
Connect PFI6 of the scan control DAQ breakout box to the PFI terminal on the FastZ DAQ board.
The settings for the automatic routing of the frame clock trigger for Fast Z is accessed in the FastZ Actuator Setup section of the ScanImage Machine Configuration Editor.
In this case, select 'PFI0' for the Frame Clock Input Terminal:
IconThe FastZ Piezo control task is a timed Daqmx Task. Due to Daqmx limitations on timing resources this requires the FastZ Piezo to run on a Daq card by itself. Other timed tasks such as Galvo control or Pockels Cell control control must run on separate Daq boards.

Steps to integrate a Thorlabs ECU1 or ECU2 (BScope 2) into a ScanImage 2016 system:
- Configure ScanImage
Use the image below as a guide. Items in black apply to both ECU1 and ECU2/BScope 2 while items in red apply only to the ECU2/BScope 2.
- Loop the ECU's line clock output terminal back to the ECU's line clock input terminal
- Connect the Thor ECU to the scanner system
- For ECU1, connect the single DVI connector to the resonant/galvo scanner assembly
- For ECU2/BScope 2, connect all cables for PMT and scanner controls. There will be a 25 pin D-sub for each of the two parallel scan paths and two round cables for each PMT
- If using a BScope 2, connect the MCM5000 controller. For each stage axis (X, Y, fine Z, coarse Z, rotation) there will be two D-sub cables, one for the motor and one for the encoder. There will also be three round mirror control cables
- Connect the 68pin DAQ connector to the scanner control DAQ board of the ScanImage 2016 system
- Connect the ECU's USB cable to the ScanImage 2016 PC. Windows will automatically download the drivers (requires an Internet connection) and register a USB serial port.
- If using a BScope 2, also connect the USB cable to the MCM5000 controller. An unknown device should appear in the device manager.
- Use device manager to update the device driver and choose the option to manually select driver location.
- Locate the BScope_ControlV3 driver package from Thorlabs.
- After installing, a second USB serial port should appear in the device manager.
Start ScanImage 2016 and select the option to create a new machine data file.
The ScanImage Machine Configuration Editor will be started. Beginning with the General ScanImage Settings section, enter settings information appropriately.
As sections are configured, modify them appropriately then press Next. When the Additional Components section is reached, you can press Finish or Finish and Run ScanImage to save configured information to the given machine data file.
Machine configuration can be updated at a later time by selecting the Machine Configuration... option on the File Menu on the Main Controls panel.
Integrate ThorLabs ECU and/or BScope 2 into ScanImage
To configure ThorLabs ECU and/or BScope 2, they must first be added within the ScanImage Machine Configuration Editor.
In the General ScanImage Settings section, add 'Thorlabs ECU 1' and/or 'Thorlabs B-Scope 2' to the Additional Components and PlugIns table, depending on your hardware.
