Properties ¶

Name	Description	Constraints	Type	On runtime change
Port Settings
MC DAQ Board number	Defines the number of selected MC DAQ card number in the system. If you do not know the card number, you can find it with the InstaCal utility supplied with card drivers.	Normal..	Int32
Channel Number	Defines the number (zero-based) of analog channel for output.	Design Time..	Int32
Voltage Range	Defines a voltage range for MC analog port	Design Time..	Range
Working Mode	Defines a working mode for the element.Select the 'AutoOutput on event onset' mode for sending signals synchronously with an onset of the parent event,or 'Triggering on input' mode for catching the particular pattern in port input. For custom reading/writing scenarios use the 'Manual IO' mode, in which port communication can be controlled by your code.	Design Time..	stPara..
Output
Signal Profile	Defines the time-amplitude profile of the output signal.'Level Change', 'Pulse' and 'TTL' profiles are available	Design Time..	stPara..
Preface Duration	Defines the duration (ms) of the guarantied zero preface interval for the TTL or Pulse signals. Increase the preface duration marginally, if your recording hardware does not detect port signals. Note that a non-zero preface delays the onset of the actual signal.	Normal..	Double
Pulse Duration	Duration of a single output pulse in ms. The value is applied only if the Pulse signal profile is selected	Normal..	UInt64
Interpulse Duration	Defines a duration of the inter-pulse interval in ms. The value is applied only if the Pulse  signal profile is selected	Normal..	clTime
Pulse Number	Defines a number of pulses in the pulse train. The value is applied only if the Pulse signal profile is selected	Normal..	Int32
Output Value	Value to be sent through the port. Can be defined in integer or binary format, e.g. Output='01010000'; or Output=255;	Normal..	clBina..
Send Output Now	Runtime action initiating an instant output communication through the port. Call this action in snippets by 'SendNow=true;', but only if the element works in the 'Manual I/O' mode.	Runtime Command..	Boolean
Control
Is Enabled	If set to false the element is completely omitted when the experiment is run	Design Time..	Boolean
Title	Title of the element	Design Time..	String
