Overview:
The BioPad device will work with ANY equipment that uses a relay closure and opening to control
auxiliary equipment. On your Biofeedback System, there may be a connector
("Switch") that is controlled by a relay. For example,
on the Thought Technology Ltd. equipment,
this connector is located on the ProSB module, or on the TT-USB module.
Connect the 3.5mm Audio Dubbing Cable to the BioPad device at the jack labeled
"Control Input" You only need to connect to one
of the two connectors based on the polarity you desire.
Test the response of the BioPad device by shorting the Tip to the Sleeve of the free end
of the 3.5mm Audio Dubbing Cable using any metal object, such as a paperclip.
The Play Indicator
on the Front panel should go on and off in
direct relation to shorting the Tip to the Sleeve and then releasing it.
Connect the other end to your biofeedback hardware that provides the digital output.
- Thought Technology with ProUSB box: use 3.5mm cable.
- Thought Technology with Serial Interface: use 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable.
This cable is available upon request. You probably should use audio control method
instead, see details below.
- For all other equipment, use the Feedback Media Platform to detect an audio signal and provide
this to the Control Out connector.
SPECIAL NOTE: Although Thought Technology provides a Switch Output connector, older
software may not effectively control this output. If you have not upgraded to
"Infiniti Platform", then you will want to use the
audio control method instead. Why? It's because
the older software can only control the Switch output with one thresholded parameter, such as
"enhance Alpha". You can't combine with "Inhibit Theta", for example, but you can do those
with the audio control method.
If you are doing simple biofeedback (GSR, for example) you may only have one
parameter, and then using digital control is still feasible.
