TIP

This is a device configuration operator. Aggregate configuration operators are recommended in lieu of device configuration operators for interfacing with Open Ephys Onix hardware.

ConfigureDigitalIO

sink Operator

Configures the ONIX breakout board's digital inputs and outputs.

This configuration operator can be linked to data IO operators, such as DigitalInput and DigitalOutput, using a shared DeviceName.

ConfigureDigitalIO Workflow

Inputs & Outputs

Configures the digital input and output device in the ONIX breakout board.

This will schedule digital IO hardware configuration actions that can be applied by a StartAcquisition object prior to data collection.

A sequence of ContextTask instances that hold configuration actions.

The original sequence modified by adding additional configuration actions required to configure a digital IO device.

Properties

Property Type Description
Enable bool

Gets or sets the device enable state.

If set to true, DigitalInput will produce data. If set to false, DigitalInput will not produce data.

DeviceName string

Gets or sets a unique device name.

The device name provides a unique, human-readable identifier that is used to link software elements for configuration, control, and data streaming to hardware. For instance, it can be used to link configuration operators to data IO operators within a workflow. This value is usually not set manually, but is assigned in a MultiDeviceFactory to correspond to a fixed address with a piece of hardware such as a headstage. This address is used for software communication.

DeviceAddress uint

Gets or sets the device address.

This is a fully-qualified numerical hardware address of a device within the device table produced by an Open Neuro Interface (ONI) compliant acquisition system. This value is usually not set manually, but is assigned in a MultiDeviceFactory to correspond to a fixed address with a piece of hardware such as a headstage. This address is used for hardware communication.

DeviceType Type

Gets or sets the device identity.

This type provides a device identity to each device within the device table produced by an Open Neuro Interface (ONI) compliant acquisition system.
