 If you are running the VideoSwitch software on the stimulus control computer, it might be a good idea to exit from this switching program after you have set the video connections, before running your stimulus control software. This is because the software used to control the switch might possibly affect the timing and display properties of other programs when both are running at the same time. If you are running the VideoSwitch software on the stimulus control computer, it might be a good idea to exit from this switching program after you have set the video connections, before running your stimulus control software.
