Hello William,

Our lab is looking at purchasing new cameras for PIV, but we already have a Evergreen Quantrel laser, and a LaserPulse Synchronizer 610036. Will any of the cameras that are compatible with the PIV aquisition software interface with our current equipment pieces? An added complication is that the trigger signal comes from an external piece of hardware linked to a pulsatile pump motion to get pictures at certain points in a heartbeat flow wave cycle. Our old system was from TSI and used Insight 4G as the aquisition software, so the trigger signal went into the synchroniser which then communicated with the camera and laser to fire. 

Thank you very much,
Briana Steven

Dear Briana, PIVlab can only control hardware from OPTOLUTION. But you could just use your laser and synchronizer and any PIV camera to do the capturing outside PIVlab. Then import the images for analyses.
