Trigger a headstage-64 onboard electrical stimulus sequencer.
This data IO operator must be linked to an appropriate configuration, such as a ConfigureHeadstage64ElectricalStimulator, using a shared DeviceName.
Headstage-64's onboard electrical stimulator can be used to deliver current controlled
micro-stimulation through a contact on the probe connector on the bottom of the headstage or the
corresponding contact on a compatible electrode interface board.
Inputs & Outputs
Start an electrical stimulus sequence.

Important
Headstages manufactured before October 2024 have an electrical stimulator that
behaves differently from those manufactured after that date. On older
headstages, a True value at this operator's input continuously delivers
stimuli, while a False value stops delivery. On newer headstages, a True
value delivers a single stimulus. If your headstage was purchased around the
transition date and you want to use the electrical stimulator, you can confirm
whether you have an older or newer headstage by observing the trigger behavior
on the headstage's Intan chip's auxiliary input, to which the stimulus
signal is hard-wired. If your headstage exhibits the older trigger behavior
and you specifically require the newer behavior, contact
us.

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. |
