%% Intro
%   This file can be use to start a fiber photometry recording using
%   FIPSTER. Please refer to the Github for details on how to build your
%   own camera-based fiber photometry setup.
%
%   EXAMPLE_RECORDING is part of FIPSTER, FIPSTER is made by Johannes de

%% Acquisition object
% This will build the acquisition object. The acquisition object is
% described in the file FIP_aquisition. To inspect the object, double click
% on it in the MATLAB workspace.

% NOTE make sure FIP_acquisition and all associated files are on your path.
% addpath('Fipster\')
acquisition = FIP_acquisition;


%% Set variables
% This will set the aquisition settings for a 2-channel recording
% (presumably 405nm and 477nm). The TOTAL framerate will be 20Hz (so 10Hz
% per channel). Change the filename parameter to set your own filename. To
% get an overview of the cameras available on your system, navigate to
% acquisition.cam_settings.options. Generally you want one with high light
% sensitivity and low resolution.
