HelioScan is a LabVIEW-based software suite from Fritjof Helmchen’s group that is specialized for running 2 photon microscopes, and is carefully designed to be modular. This modularity is intended to make it more easily adapted for different rigs and experiments, and robust to the frequent version forking that happens in lab environments.

It’s all open source and has online user and developer documentation, which should help guide developers.
