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 to 0 by editing the Index field that appears in the Properties pane after left-clicking the UCLAMiniscopeV4 node.

   2. Test the selected Index value by starting the workflow [1] and double left-clicking the Image node. If the displayed video stream corresponds to that of your miniscope, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, increment the Index value by 1 and repeat this step.

   Note

   A device index specifies a camera device. If there are additional cameras connected to your PC (including laptop webcams), finding the correct index value might involve an iterative trial-and-error process.
