Communication between the systems can be done in several ways. A direct serial (RS232, using nulmodem cable) or network (TCP) connection is possible, but may be difficult to do if you're not already experienced with E-Basic scripting. Handling the (asynchronous) data stream will be the most difficult part. (Depending on the complexity of the exchanged information.)<br>
<br>Another option is to create files on a network share that can be accessed from both computers. Although this seems easier to do, this not a very elegant and reliable method.<br><br></div><div>In very specific cases a mixture of both methods might also work. For example: a simple TCP data stream for sending events or triggers, and a file share for exchanging more complex event related info using files.<br>

Can it communicate between two computers? Should we simply have 2 screens for one computer? Can e-prime collect responses from 2 keyboards at the same time and present feedback according to both inputs?<br>
