Texo

The Texo SDK gives a researcher low-level beamforming control and image sequencing control. One can create custom sequences of individually programmable scanlines, up to 2048 scanlines. Another factor that makes Texo especially powerful is the fact that it can obtain the raw RF data from the ultrasound machine. Not only can these raw echo signals be used to construct B-mode images for qualitative analysis, but they can be used in their original form for quantitative analysis. This documentation is meant to substitute the documentation that comes with the Texo SDK. All the contents in the original documentation is present in this write up, either in its original form or with supplemental information added to it. Another way to view this documentation is to treat it essentially as an organized collection of numerous helpful posts made on the Texo Forum by various users around the world. The purpose of this documentation is to give new users of the Sonix RP machine and the Texo SDK a tutorial type of guidance in order to get started and also as a quick reference. This documentation assumes an audience with some familiarity of object oriented programming concepts, but does not assume expertise in C++. It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with MATLAB and has had experience with this software. In order to follow along the documentation, it is recommended to have a C++ compiler such as the Visual Studio C++, and MATLAB. A guide written by Tony deSouza on the Texo Forum will help  any  new user get started.
