Data Acquisition Adapters and E-Prime

[Brandon Cernicky]

Greetings,

The E-Prime Web Support and other technical support at
Psychology Software Tools receives a number of queries
about using digital I/O adapters and other data
acquisition (DAQ) adapters with E-Prime.  Because
there are so many adapters available from a number of
different manufactures, Psychology Software Tools has
only been able to provide limited support in this
area.  PST has tested a number of parallel port
adapters and continues to be the primary choice for
low cost, low latency, data acquisition for computers.

To assist the E-Prime community, I would like to ask
the group for any experiences they have had with DAQ
cards outside of using parallel adapters as well as
with parallel adapters.  Information about NI-DAQ
adapters from National Instruments appear to be the
most commonly requested devices for information, but
am interested in any experiences with adapters from
other manufactures.  The information that would like
to gain from this thread:

1) Are you using any data acquisition adapter using
ReadPort, WritePort, OnsetSignal, OffsetSignal?  That
is, you are using the facilities provided by E-Prime
and are not using .dll calls or other Declare
statements provider by the manufacture.  If so, what
is the manufacture/model of the adapter?
2) Any experiences with using National Instruments Lab
View with E-Prime.
3) Any experiences using PCI data acquisition
adapters?
4) Any experiences using PCMCIA data acquisition
adapters?
5) Any experiences using USB data acquisition
adapters?
6) Any experiences using any analog data acquisition
adapters?
7) Any experiences to share about using parallel port
adapters?

-Brandon
