How Can I Verify That ActiveTwo USB-Receiver 5.1 Is Receiving Triggers from PsychoPy 3?

Post by pchs0114 »

Hello all,

I'm currently utilising PsychoPy 3 to programme an experiment and am employing an ActiveTwo USB-Receiver 5.1 to receive triggers. Within my PsychoPy script, I'm using `byte_x` to set the value of these triggers.

Has anyone worked with a similar setup? Could you please advise me on verifying that the ActiveTwo USB-Receiver 5.1 receives the triggers I've set in PsychoPy? Any troubleshooting tips or tools for checking the status of the triggers would be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance!

If the triggers are received, then they are shown in ActiView.

Hello,

Thanks for replying. I know ActiView shows if triggers are received, but it doesn't specify which one—like trigger 1 or 2.

Select the "analog" trigger format and trigger line 1-16 are displayed as colored dots/bars. Select the "decimal" trigger format and the triggers are displayed as two groups of 8 bit numbers.
