5. DETECTION INTERFACES & SENSORS
5.1. Opto-detectors
Up to four opto-detectors can be used to monitor for screen events that occur on a remote
PC or data projector screen. As standard the toolkit offers two opto-detector inputs via
lines 3 and 4. 3.5mm jack plugs are used to connect photodiode opto-detectors to the
toolkit. Two tuning potentiometers above the sockets allow you to fine tune sensitivity
(crossing threshold) to suit the stimulus materials being displayed. A yellow LED indicates
that visual activity has been detected. Two opto-detectors are shipped as standard.
The photodiode opto-detector is attached to the remote PC by means of an adjustable
elastic strap. The clear polycarbonate mounting allows for accurate positioning over a
visual stimulus.
If required two additional opto-detector modules [optional extra] can be used allowing for
up to four visual regions to be monitored. If you purchased these external modules they
can be plugged into the 3.5mm powered-in lines of the toolkit (lines 3 and 4). A sensitivity
potentiometer is located on the plug-in module itself. The orange LED of the powered-in
lines indicates that visual activity has been detected.
