An inexpensive experiment controller for stand-alone applications or distributed processing networks

Abstract: An inexpensive microprocessor-based experiment controller available as a commercially produced bare printed circuit board is described. It provides for up to 8 inputs and 40 outputs. An 8K Experiment Control BASIC (ECBASIC) and a compiled Experiment Control Language (ECL) are also available. Both languages have internal structures that enable time and responses to be dealt with in a very convenient and error-free manner. Time and response count are automatically incrementing variables that need only to be test… Show more

“…A third version of the ECB utilizes a completely different operating system, the experiment control language, which uses precompiled control code that allows the ECB to make precise elapsed timing (down to 1 msec) for the measurement of interevent times. Other versions of the ECB, as well as additional details on the versions described above, can be found in Walter and Palya's (1984) paper.…”

“…This paper presents the details of our new experiment control computer. The functionality of our previous controller (Walter & Palya, 1984) has been greatly enhanced. Two control languages are supported, the hardware can be used either in a network mode with IBM-compatible or Macintosh computers, or as a simple interface between an IBM PC and an experimental apparatus.…”
