🚧 Pre-release. Workflow and screens described here are subject to change before Texo is generally available. UI walkthroughs/screenshots will be added.
This guide walks through a Texo session: signing in, connecting to a probe, loading a research script set, applying it, imaging, and capturing data. For a tour of the window itself — the four script windows, image panel, probe connection, and presets — see The Texo Workspace.
Texo replaces the App's automatic optimization with explicit scripts you control:
flowchart TD
login[Sign in with Clarius Cloud] --> connect[Connect to probe over network]
connect --> load[Load a research script set]
load --> edit[Edit + parse script sections]
edit --> apply[Apply scripts to probe]
apply --> image[Image live]
image --> capture[Freeze + capture data]
capture --> edit
Texo requires a Clarius Cloud account with research/Texo permissions. On launch, sign in; your account determines which probes and research script sets you can access. (You stay signed in for the session; closing the login without signing in exits.)
Power the probe on and ensure it is on the same wireless network as your machine. In Texo, enter the probe's IP address and port and connect. As with the other research APIs, the probe must have research access; authentication uses your signed-in session.
Once connected, Texo shows probe status (battery, temperature) and enables the toolbar actions for applying scripts and imaging.
Open a Clarius-provided research script set. Texo fills its four editor windows — every script is made of the same four parts, arranged in two columns:
| Window | Part | What it defines |
|---|---|---|
| Probe | Probe definition | Geometry, frequency band, capabilities. |
| Parameters | Parameters | Named values/expressions (frequency, focus, aperture, decimation, gain, …). |
| Sequences | Sequence | The transmit/receive sequence and frame structure, built from parameters. |
| Processing | Image processing | The pipeline applied to acquired data. |
See the Scripting Guide for what goes in each window and how they reference one another.
Edit any section in its tab, then parse. Texo parses each section independently and reports errors with the offending line highlighted, so you can fix issues before sending anything to the probe. All four sections must parse cleanly before you apply.
You can save your edited scripts back as a named set and reload them later.
Apply the parsed scripts to the connected probe. Texo sends the parameters, sequences, processing, and probe definition, then begins imaging with exactly the settings your scripts specify — no depth-based auto-optimization happens behind your back.
Use the freeze control to start/stop imaging.
Choose a storage folder, then capture while imaging or frozen. Captures are written to your storage folder for offline analysis. The raw data uses the same on-disk formats documented in the research repository, so the existing Python/MATLAB readers apply.
Texo scripts set acoustic and beamforming parameters directly and can drive the transducer outside the optimized, validated operating points that the Clarius App maintains. Use appropriate test equipment, and stay within your regulatory obligations when changing transmit frequency, voltage, pulse shape, or aperture. See the related low-level parameter safety notes.
