12.2 NIRStim event synchronization
NIRStim can generate 255 (8-bit) unique event trigger markers. These may be sent through an available,
free parallel (LPT) port or through the StimTrackerâ„¢ USB interface, a proprietary 3
rd
party device made
by Cedrus Corp. (http://cedrus.com/stimtracker), available through NIRx. Alternatively, if NIRStim is
running on the same computer as NIRStar, the triggers may be sent internally, via software (Shared
Variable), without requiring any additional hardware communication; and NIRStim03-0, which is already
integrated with NIRStar14-1, also possibilities sharing the triggers with NIRStar via a local network.
For details about the use of NIRStim please refer to the separate NIRStim User Manual.
