905 Interface

Description

The opto-electronic interface receives optical signals from the handheld devices in the MR suite, and converts them into electronic signals for the computer. The FIU-905 is a low-cost way to have up to 5-button responses in an easy-to-use small package.

The 905 is a USB-only device: it provides standard HID compatibility so it will work with any program.

It replaces the FIU-904 as our low-cost solution for an fMRI response system.

Features

• Auto-gain adapts to changing configurations and devices
• Supports HHSC devices with 5 buttons
• Optical triggering - no need to have your own optical-TTL converter
• Faster - for better timing, improved responsiveness
• Internal programs (firmware) are locally upgradeable through the USB connection
• Aluminum enclosure 3 x 2.75 x 1 in. (7.4 x 6.5 x 2.4 cm)

User Interface

Outputs

The 905 has a single, full speed USB output.

Inputs

• An 9-way optical port connects to any HHSC button box having 5 buttons.
• Both optical and TTL triggers can be connected, so there's no need to have a separate optical-to-TTL trigger converter box.

Response Device Compatibility

Supports our latest ("HHSC-") response devices with 5 buttons. Does not support legacy ("HH-") devices or pointing devices.

What Else is Needed

This device is normally used with an optical response device and a fiber bundle.
