Workflow Tutorial

1. Download the following workflow (.bonsai file) and open it with Bonsai:

   

   

   uclaminiscopev4-miniscopedaq-trigger.bonsai

   

2. Set the UCLAMiniscopeV4 operator’s Index property to the value that corresponds to the index of your miniscope.

   

   1. Set the Index value by clicking on the ... dropdown available at the Index field that appears in the Properties pane after left-clicking the UCLAMiniscopeV4 node.

   2. Click Scan and choose from one of the indices that appear. This might take time if many physical or virtual camera devices are connected to your computer.

   3. Click Ok.

   Note

   If there are multiple miniscopes connected to your PC (including laptop webcams), finding the correct index value might involve an iterative trial-and-error process. Try starting the workflow now [1] to confirm the selected index is correct.
