= 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
{{{#!highlight matlab numbers=off
help ScannerSynchClass
}}}

{{{#!wiki caution
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!
}}}

== 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 [[attachment:ScannerSynchClass.m|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)!
