Thank you. Another question pertaining to the birds. I've been collecting data from the birds and it seems a bit jagged. Like I think it's collecting at a faster Hz then the computer can handle/record. So I'm getting this spaced out data which then makes the visual stimulus jagged and sporatic. I was wondering, is there a way to control the collection rate from the birds through Vizard? Is there a way to check what Vizard's automatic collection rate is?

I'm getting data looks like this:
0.437679648
0.444935262
0.420377851
0.446498007
0.452190846
0.42595908
0.445046872
0.438572645
0.42874971
0.438907534
0.432656556
0.424061477
0.443707377
0.429084569
0.431875199
0.42607072
0.419596493
0.424731225
0.426293969
0.401624948
0.394704223
0.401178449
0.383653402
0.405420184
0.409550279
0.403187692
0.416471004
0.401624948
0.404750437


I need data that looks like this:
0.451731
0.451842
0.451731
0.452289
0.452847
0.453405
0.454075
0.454521
0.455079
0.455526
0.455972
0.456195
0.456084
0.455972
0.455749
0.455526
0.455414
0.454968
0.454856
0.454744
0.454409
0.454409
0.454075
0.453851
0.45374
0.453405
0.45307
0.452735


Anyway, I don't know why the data I'm getting is so "spaced" out. (I.e. if you look at 0.00th digit, in my data it jumps around a lot. In the data I need, it stays fairly consistent.) So I don't know. Maybe Vizard is collecting at XXX Hz but maybe the computer can only handle recording data at YY Hz so maybe I'm only get every couple of data points or so. I don't know? Again, is there a way to check what Vizard is collecting at? Or is there a way to control it so that I can make it compatible with the speed my computer can handle?
