FlipTimingWithRTBoxPhotoDiodeTest(configFile)

Test visual stimulus onset timing accuracy and visual stimulus onset
timestamping precision and robustness under varying loads, conditions and
modes of operation. This requires one of the supported external
measurement devices to provide the "ground truth" for true stimulus onset
times. Currently supported: UCST RTBox with photo-diode, VPixx Inc. DataPixx,
UBW32/Bitwhacker + UCST VideoSwitcher. Can also be used without external
equipment to just test stimulus onset accuracy with only indirect test of
timestamping.

This documentation is incomplete for now, good luck!

'configFile' Filename of benchmark configuration file.

Mandatory variables in file

conf.Stereo = Stereomode to use.
