ActiveWire

Psychtoolbox › PsychHardware › ActiveWire

The Psychtoolbox ActiveWire command is used to control the ActiveWire USB
device which provides 16 bits of parallel bi-directional digital i/o. The
ActiveWire device is useful for interfacing your PC to other devices
such as lab equipment or custom-made subject response boxes.
See http://www.activewireinc.com/ for more information on the ActiveWire
device or to purchase.

ActiveWire with no arguments lists ActiveWire commands. To obtain help on
a command follow the name of the command with a question mark.
For example, to get help on the 'OpenDevice' command at the Matlab prompt
enter:
ActiveWire('OpenDevice?')

volunteer would step in to do that.
