Hello,
I have an NI USB-6218 BNC which I'm trying to integrate into some experiment software for psychology studies. I want to be able to programme an experiment which at certain points will send a trigger to the NI box, which in turn will trigger a Digitimer DS5 (https://digitimer.com/products/clinical-neurophysiology/peripheral-stimulators-2/ds5-isolated-bipolar-constant-current-stimulator-clinical-product/) to give an electrocutaneous shock.
I haven't found any experimental software which is capable of sending signals to an external device via USB (only parallel port). I'm told it's possible to build a USB signal into PsychoPy (http://www.psychopy.org), but I haven't found anyone who can do it yet.
Can anybody recommend a different piece of experimental software which would be able to send a signal to the NI USB-6218 while also presenting visual and auditory stimuli for a psychology experiment (with randomisation and accurate timing etc)? Or can you suggest anybody who would be able to write the PsychoPy USB extension?
Any help/advice/info would be much appreciated, I'm really stuck.
Thank you!
Nina
