Triggerscope Mini, specified.
Description
The TriggerScope Mini brings hardware-timed DAC and TTL control to any microscope at an accessible price.
Native MicroManager compatibility, 2 analog outputs, 4 digital outputs, and a trigger input: professional-grade synchronization in a compact, USB-powered package.

MicroManager native
Same driver as the TriggerScope 4. No plugins, no adapters. If your software sees a TriggerScope, it sees the Mini.

2-channel 12-bit DAC
Two 0–5V analog outputs. Drive LED controllers, AOTFs, piezo stages with 12-bit precision.
- 3.
4 TTL digital outputs
Level-shifted 5V TTL for camera triggering, shutter control, and device sync. Microsecond timing.
- 4.
Sequencing & blanking
250 programmable states per channel. Trigger-gated blanking protects samples between exposures.
- 5.
Compact & USB-powered
Single USB cable for power and data. No external supply, no rack mount, no bench clutter.
