Hardware

LabJack U3 DAQ device
- The stimulus presentation computer interfaces with this device via USB. The device then outputs the 8-bit digital signal which is relayed to the MP150 via a 37-pin ribbon cable which connects to a parallel port on the ActiveTwo USB receiver.
Winford DB37 'Slim' Female Connector Breakout Board
- This breakout board (aka terminal board or terminal block) gives us an easy way of wiring the output from the LabJack U3 to the ribbon cable.

8-bit digital output from I/O lines FIO0-FIO7.
1. A separate wire connects each line to the breakout board.
Wires are connected to screw terminals on the breakout board. Each terminal is connected to a single pin of the male/female DB-25 connectors.
1. FIO0-FIO7 should be wired to terminals 2-9 of the breakout board.
2. The ground should be wired to terminal 18 of the breakout board.
A 25-pin ribbon cable connects the breakout board to the MP150
