Hardware device connections at BIAC-6 3T (New MR750) scanner
BIAC6 3T -- Mach computer
Mach is our primary stimulus presentation computer. It is usually connected to the monitor on the left.
Mach has the following peripheral hardware connected:
- Keyboard and mouse hard-wired connections
- First video output connected to video switch (CPU 1)
- Second monitor video output connected to video switch (CPU 2)
- Stereo sound output to audio switch boxes
- Current Design 8-button serial response device (USB)
- button box mode: “HHSC-2×4-C” response box
- button mode : “HID NAR 12345” (003)
- must check this mode if power is cycled to the interface
- MagConcepts Joystick (USB Gaming device)
- E-Prime SR box (no button box, just scanner trigger) (COM1: 19200 baud, 8 bits, no parity)
- Video switch serial cable on COM2
- Measurement Computing Analog/Digital data acquisition device (USB-1208FS, dev=0, 8 a/d chans)
- Serial cable to Donders on COM3 (e.g. ViewPoint eyetracker or Acknowledge)
- E-Prime dongle (USB)
- Scanner trigger cable connected as input to E-Prime SR box (code=16), and MeasComp analog (ADC3)
- BioPac Respiratory belt signal connected as MeasComp analog input 0 (ADC0)
- BioPac Cardiac signal connected as MeasComp analog input 1 (ADC1), biopac analog ( o2 ch2, pulse wave ch6, pulse rate ch10 )
- BioPac GSR signal connected as MeasComp analog input 2 (ADC2), biopack analog ch1
- Scanner trigger signal connected as MeasComp analog input 3 (ADC3)
- Scanner trigger is also connected to the MCC counter pin (CTR), this would show up as a number increase NOT a positive pulse
Measurement Computing Box, DigPort-A0 Output to BioPac Analog 8 input- BioPac STM100c: MCC DigPort-A0 output to BioPac digital i/o ch15

BIAC6 3T -- Donders computer
Donders is our accesory computer. It is usually connected to the monitor on the right.
Donders has the following peripheral hardware connected:
- Keyboard and mouse hard-wired
- Video output connected to video switch (CPU 3)
- Stereo sound output to audio switch boxes
- Serial cable to Mach (COM1)
- Scanner trigger cable connected as input to parallel port
- BioPac communication (RJ45?) cable
- Falcon video capture card (internal board)
- Mag Concepts eyetracker camera input (NTSC) to video capture card
- OptoAcoustics digital microphone (USB)
BIAC6 3T -- Other devices
- DVD player, video output connected to video switch (CPU 5)
- DVD player, sound connected to Audio switch (DVD - switch 3)
- Stereo sound jack for I-pod, MP3, etc connected to Audio switch (Aux - switch 4)
Video Switch Connections

---|---|---|
Mach 1 | Left Monitor | CPU1 → OUT1 |
Mach 2 | Middle Monitor | CPU2 → OUT2 |
Donders | Right Monitor | CPU3 → OUT3 |
Mach 1 | Projector | CPU1 → OUT4 |
DVD | TV | CPU5 → OUT5 |
Mach 1 | No device | CPU1 → OUT6 |
Mach 1 | No device | CPU1 → OUT7 |
Mach 1 | No device | CPU1 → OUT8 |
