ScannerSynch

ScannerSynch provides an interface for National Instruments PCI 6503 card used to capture all pulses (scanner synch pulse and button pulses alike).

For more information, type in MATLAB

help ScannerSynchClass

N.B.: National Instruments PCI 6503 card does not monitor pulses in the background, so you have to make sure that you wait for any pulse before it comes!

Any problems, report them to Tibor Auer.

Obtain ScannerSynch

  • ScannerSynch is available on all relevant PCs (StimPCs, "mimic" PC)

  • From your desktop PC (Windows), you can also have a copy from \\cbsu\data\Group\Imaging-Local\cbu\matlab

  • You can also download it from here (right-click and "Save As...")

Using ScannerSynch

Initialise

  • Default. Use only if device (scanner, pulse emulator) is connected (only in StimPCs and mimic PC)!
  • SSO = ScannerSynchClass;
    
  • SSO = ScannerSynchClass(1);   % emulate scanner synch pulse
    
  • SSO = ScannerSynchClass(0,1); % emulate button box
    
  • SSO = ScannerSynchClass(1,1); % emulate scanner synch pulse and button box
