Summary

This paper presents an open-source implementation of the acquisition side of the current pulse ERT system using an industry-standard National Instruments interface. The design replaced legacy DAQ and microcontroller components and enabled transmission of data at 1000 frames per second over TCP/IP.

Context

This is probably the clearest early example of me working in the space between hardware, software, systems architecture, and operational usability. The technical domain was tomography, but the underlying problem was already familiar: simplify the architecture, modernize the interfaces, and make the system more robust and extensible.
