Digitimer DS7A(H) Stimulator Instrument Controller

[jcannon]

Hi everyone,

I made this vi to programmatically control the triggering output parameters of a Digitimer constant-current peripheral stimulator.

Some points to consider when using:

1. Place the vi in a parallel loop to any AI processes (so that the AO does not interfer with the AI when being written; this is a pain when trying to visual the AI in real-time as there is a delay when the AO is being written as the AI is stored in the buffer, then FIFO when the AO write process has stopped).
2. Place the vi within a case structure that is activated via boolean control (set to "latch until released")... This boolean will be your vi trigger button to initiate the AO write process and trigger the stimulator.
3. Place all controls within a user event loop (i.e. event structure) to stop any polling.
4. If you only want a single trigger, use the default settings.

Hope it is useful... Please let me know what you think if you use it.

Regards,

Jack

Hi Jack,

This looks like the kind of example that would be really beneficial to post to our community examples page.

Have you come across any VI in LabView for the Digitimer DS8R with or without being paired with the D188 electrode selector ?

No, but I imagine that they all would work based on TLL pulses... So the vi for the DS7AH will most likely work for your equipment... If not, some minor tweaks would have it running...
