Which MCP servers are required?

Depending on your hardware, it utilizes sl-shared-assets, sl-experiment, ataraxis-video-system, and ataraxis-comm-interface.

Does this skill manage network drive mounting?

No, SMB mounts must be configured at the OS level (e.g., via fstab), but the skill verifies those mounts are accessible and maps them to the configuration.

What hardware can this skill discover?

It can identify and map Zaber motors, various research-grade cameras, and microcontrollers used for behavioral monitoring and control.

Can I use this for non-mesoscope systems?

Yes, while it includes specific mesoscope templates, the hardware discovery and configuration logic is modular and applicable to various lab setups.

Configures and verifies scientific data acquisition systems by automating hardware discovery and parameter management.

The Acquisition System Setup skill provides a standardized workflow for configuring complex scientific data acquisition environments, specifically optimized for the Sun (NeuroAI) lab. It automates the identification of hardware components like Zaber motors, high-speed cameras, and microcontrollers, guiding users through the creation and editing of YAML configuration files. By integrating network storage verification, credential management for cloud logging, and system-specific diagnostics, this skill ensures that experimental rigs are correctly calibrated and ready for high-fidelity data collection.
