Running an Experiment in MATLAB

Using the Zapit API in MATLAB

The following example function presents 20 random stimuli using software timing.

function myStimPresenter
    
    % Get the API object from the base workspace
    hZP = zapit.utils.getObject;
    if isempty(hZP)
        return
    end

    if hZP.isReadyToStim == false
        fprintf('Zapit is not ready to stimulate.\n')
        return
    end

    % Present 20 random stimuli without waiting for a hardware trigger
    for ii = 1:20
        hZP.sendSamples('hardwareTriggered',false) % Starts right away
        pause(1) % Wait approx 1s 
        hZP.stopOptoStim
    end

end
