====== ASI PLogic Control ======

ASI PLogic Control is a Micro-Manager plugin to control the [[tiger_programmable_logic_card|Tiger Programmable Logic Card]].

ASI PLogic Control comes with the [[https://download.micro-manager.org/nightly/2.0/Windows/|latest nightly build]] of Micro-Manager 2.0.

==== Requirements ====
  *''Micro-Manager 2.0''
  *''Tiger Controller''
  *''PLogic card''

==== Device Adapter ====

The ''ASITiger'' device adapter has several modes for the ''PLogicMode'' pre-init property, this mode is selected when you create or edit the hardware configuration.

^PLogic Mode Table ^^^^
^  diSPIM  ^  4 Channel  ^  7 Channel  ^Mode ^
|  ''false''  |  ''false''  |  ''false''  | None |
|  ''true''  |  ''true''  |  ''false''  | diSPIM Shutter |
|  ''false''  |  ''true''  |  ''false''  | Four-channel shutter |
|  ''false''  |  ''false''  |  ''true''  | Seven-channel shutter |
|  ''true''  |  ''false''  |  ''true''  | Seven-channel TTL shutter |

When the hardware configuration is loaded in Micro-Manager, the ''PLogicMode'' property determines what happens during initialization.

=== Pseudocode Initialization ===

  if diSPIM true:
      set property "TriggerSource" to "1 - Micro-mirror card"
      if 4 Channel true:
          set preset 14
      if 7 Channel true:
          set preset 12
          output #8 is Camera0 trigger
  else: 
      if 4 Channel or 7 Channel are true:
          set preset 36

__Buttons__

**Add/Remove:** Create a new square wave pattern or remove the current one.

**Create PLogic Program:** Create the PLogic program for this square wave pattern.

__Square Wave Signal Generator__

**First Logic Cell:** The first logic cell that the PLogic program will be written to.

**Source Address:** The initial trigger source that will start the square wave pattern.

**Cells Used:** The number of logic cells required to create the square wave pattern. Depending on the complexity of the pattern, it uses 1-4 logic cells.

**Output Logic Cell:** The logic cell that will output the square wave pattern. You can connect one of the BNC outputs on the Physical I/O tab to this logic cell to see the pattern on an oscilloscope.

__Square Wave Pattern__

Start Delay, Pulse Duration, and Pulse Delay use quarter millisecond timing. \\
For example, setting the Start Delay to 100 means 25 milliseconds of delay.

**Number of Pulses:** The number of rising edges in the square wave pattern.

**Start Delay:** The time to wait before sending the first pulse.

**Pulse Duration:** The amount of time the pulse spends in logic high.

**Pulse Delay:** The amount of time spent in logic low between pulses.

^Cell Complexity Cost^^
^Cells ^Description ^
|1| Single pulse, no start delay |
|2| Single pulse, with start delay |
|3| Multiple pulses, no start delay |
|4| Multiple pulses, with start delay |
