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.
