Re: Timing out task with MultiTarget & ComplementaryWindow - 5 years ago
See the example in the ComplementaryWindow manual. https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/docs_RuntimeFunctions.html#ComplementaryWindow You just need to change SingleTarget to MultiTarget in the example.

Re: Sound cards in MonkeyLogic - 5 years ago
You can play different sounds from different speakers. You need only one sound card. The number of speakers you can add is dependent on the sound card. If your card supports 5.1 channels, then you can add up to 6 speakers and, if it is a 7.1 channel one, up to 8. To send different sounds, just fill each channel with different sounds. For example, the following code will play a noise only frby Jaewon - Questions and Answers

Re: tobii sdk integration - 5 years ago
As I mentioned above, you need to let me borrow your eye tracker first so that I can test with it. You can use any existing MATLAB function in the ML timing script, so I don't understand why you can't do something you already have done in MATLAB.by Jaewon - Questions and Answers

2.2.2 & 2.0.223 (Oct 8, 2020) - 5 years ago
* Changes in 2.2.2 (Oct 8, 2020) + The stability of sound playback in WASAPI Exclusive is improved. + A button for reloading the device list is added to the I/O submenu and the Other device settings menu.

Re: Timestamps in filenames - 5 years ago
You are right about the timestamp added to the filename. The time should be determined when the run button is clicked. To make it so, add one line of code to Line 816 (or somewhere around it) of monkeylogic.m like the following. Line 816: if ~datafilename_manually_typed, MLPath.DataFile = MLConfig.FormattedName; end Line 817: datafile = ; Line 818: if 2==exist(datafile,'file�by Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: GigE Vision camera - 5 years ago
Plug them in and see if they show up in the menu. If they don't, they are not supported by NIMH ML. For cameras not supported, I do not know what initialization process is required and how long it takes. So it is entirely up to you how to control the cameras and sync timestamps. ----- See alert_function for placing the initialization code. https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/board/read.by Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: eventcodes sent (or read) twice - 5 years ago
It is the manual of your recording system that you should check. Find out what kind of input your recording system requires first. You shouldn't just try all strobe options. You did not mention what your recording system is. And this does not make any sense to me: "By lab legacy recommendation, I have strobes A/B wired together. "by Jaewon - Questions and Answers

Re: high refresh rate - 5 years ago
If you interpret my words as an indication that the control screen and the subject screen should have the same refresh rate, it is a misunderstanding. Although NIMH ML renders the same graphic on both screens, only the subject screen is updated in synchrony with the refresh rate. The control screen is not. Therefore, they do not need to have the same refresh rate. The reason that your currentby Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: Doubts regarding MlRecord.EyeTransform - 5 years ago
data.AnalogData.Eye is transformed by the calibration and represented in degrees. When calibration is needed, the "raw data" from the eye tracker is usually meaningless numbers with an arbitrary origin, so there is no point of storing the raw data.

Re: draw taskobjects on control screen only - 5 years ago
MonkeyLogic Graphics Library (MGL), as well as NIMH DAQ Toolbox, is the backbone of NIMH ML and certainly able to present graphic objects on only one screen or both, by changing the device (or screen) number. However, NIMH ML is hard-coded to use both screens, so there is no way to present "TaskObjects" on the control screen only. It is up to you to call MGL functions directly to add yoby Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: super large bhv2 files - 5 years ago
You cannot use a variable name in the function string which is a char array. Replace sdmMatrix with its value, like sprintf('SDMM_port(%d)',sdmMatrix), as shown in the example. Please describe every single detail, as I asked above, from the first time.by Jaewon - Questions and Answers

Re: specify width and height of video files - 5 years ago
If you want to change the width and height respectively with different ratios, it is a very costly operation, which NIMH ML does not support, and you may as well just create another movie with the size you want. If you want to increase/decrease both width and height in the same proportion (i.e., keep the aspect ratio), use the rescale_object function. https://monkeylogic.nimh.nih.gov/docs_Runby Jaewon - Questions and Answers

Re: remove reward_dur editable - 5 years ago
reward_dur is one of the things I inherited from the original ML. I also thought of removing the variable, but I learned one of the labs that contributed to the original ML was using it heavily, so, in respect for their initiative, I decided to keep it. I don't recommend removing it. Then you will have to make the change every time a new version comes out.by Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: super large bhv2 files - 5 years ago
Thanks for the explanation. All public properties of adapters that can be assigned by users are saved in the data file to reconstruct initial conditions of scenes later. In your case, you assigned a 4-D matrix to MovieGraphic so the 4-D matrix was stored to the data file, which I believe is the reason of the large file size. If you have a function that generates the movie out of a few paramby Jaewon - Questions and Answers
Re: super large bhv2 files - 5 years ago
Of course, I don't. You should explain every single detail so that I can understand what you did. Otherwise, it is just like you are asking me to guess what you ate for breakfast. You said you saved the dot positions in each frame. Then how can the size of the matrix be just 500*3 per trial? If you presented 100 dots for 3 s at 60 Hz, that alone requires 100*3*60*2 numbers each trial (sinby Jaewon - Questions and Answers
