Hi,
We've just completed moving all of the stimulus delivery equipment in MRI from the back room to the front (operator) room. The only remaining piece of equipment in the back room is the projector, which is now fed via DVI instead of VGA [0].
This provides much more convenient access to the triggering system, both the existing button and the newer track-ball response systems, the auditory delivery system and provides an easier means for driving the projector from external inputs [1] such as laptops.
Over the next few days, documentation and labelling will be done to ensure that people can familiarise themselves with the new layout. In the main however, it should only be MRI operators who touch the equipment in the stimulus delivery rack.
For those who use the CRS Visage setup, provision has also been made for driving this from the front room, although it is not yet set up - please contact me for details if you use this. It would also be helpful if those using the Visage could let me know anyways so that we can judge how many people still use it.
Finally, this is a prelude to replacing the stimulus PCs - more on this later (probably in the New Year).
Cheers,
Mark
[0] The eye-tracking PC remains in the back room until what to do with it has been discussed with the relevant users.
[1] NB: External inputs *must* be feeding DVI-D, not DVI-A, i.e. it is only possible to do this using digital inputs, not analogue ones; VGA to DVI cables won't work; please contact me if you want to use this or have any questions.
