NI

  • device_ID must be set to the name of the DAQ you will use to run Zapit. Open and find the name of your DAQ. Likely it will be called Dev1, Dev2 or similar. If you wish, you can change the name to something more meaningful, such as "zapit". Either way, find the name and enter this as the value of device_ID.

  • wrapper determines the method used by MATLAB to communicate with . It should stay as dotnet

  • samplesPerSecond It's probably a bad idea to edit this.

  • triggerChannel defines the channel on which Zapit looks for a trigger before initiating stimulation during an experiment.
