Headstage64OpticalStimulatorTrigger

sink Operator

Controls a headstage-64 onboard optical stimulus sequencer.

This data IO operator must be linked to an appropriate configuration, such as a ConfigureHeadstage64OpticalStimulator, using a shared DeviceName. Headstage-64's onboard optical stimulator can be used to drive current through laser diodes or LEDs connected to two contacts on the probe connector on the bottom of the headstage or the corresponding contacts on a compatible electrode interface board.

Inputs & Outputs

Start an optical stimulus sequence.

A sequence of boolean values indicating the start of a stimulus sequence when true.

A sequence of boolean values that is identical to source

Properties

Property	Type	Description
BurstCurrent	double	Gets total direct current required during the application of a burst. This value should be kept below 50 mA to prevent excess head accumulation on the headstage.
BurstsPerTrain acquisition	uint	Gets or sets the number of bursts in a stimulus train.
ChannelOneCurrent acquisition	double	Gets or sets the percent of MaxCurrent that will delivered to channel 1 in each pulse.
ChannelTwoCurrent acquisition	double	Gets or sets the percent of MaxCurrent that will delivered to channel 2 in each pulse.
Delay acquisition	double	Gets or sets a delay from receiving a trigger to the start of stimulus sequence application in msec.
DeviceName configuration	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.
Enable acquisition	bool	Gets or sets the device enable state. If set to true, then the optical stimulator circuit will respect triggers. If set to false, triggers will be ignored.
InterBurstInterval acquisition	double	Gets or sets the duration of the inter-burst interval within a stimulus train in msec.
MaxCurrent acquisition	double	Gets or sets the Maximum current per channel per pulse in mA. This value defines the maximal possible current that can be delivered to each channel. To get different amplitudes for each channel use the ChannelOneCurrent and ChannelTwoCurrent properties.
PulseDuration acquisition	double	Gets or sets the duration of each pulse in msec.
PulsesPerBurst acquisition	uint	Gets or sets the number of pulses per burst.
PulsesPerSecond acquisition	double	Gets or sets the pulse period within a burst in msec.
