Vizard how to send information through DA card in realtime

[gachful]

Dears,
We need send the location informations to another computer though a DA card in realtime, did any one have ever use vizard to do such things or any solutions.

[Jeff]

Can you explain your question more and exactly what hardware is involved?

Hi Jeff,
We are from a neuroscience lab doing some experements on some low level primates, and what we need to do now is send the Location data (x,y) and head direction data to another computer from Vizard in real times. But we can't use Ethernet to do this due to our setups.
We consider to use a Digital-Analog Card(DA card) in Vizard computer, and send the datas as analog signals. But we really don’t know how to do this.The basic question is whether vizard support some specific DA card? And how to use python to control a DA card.
We have connected with NI company(they sells some card like this), but they said they don’t use python as a languish.

You can communicate with a LabJack (http://labjack.com/) device using Python. If you are interested in using one of their devices we can provide you with a release of LabJackPython that works with Python 2.4, the version of Python that Vizard uses.

Thank you Jeff, we'll try to make a conversation with LabJack to see what could goes up.
