Console Part 1
The console interfaces with the computer via MATLAB. It produces the RF transmit pulses and gradient waveforms based on vectors created in a MATLAB sequence. It also acquires the received MRI signal at a time specified in the sequence. The console samples the received signal and downconverts it to baseband. Some specifics are at: http://mrsrl.stanford.edu/~medusa/hardware/
The console is also described in detail in journal article
