Triggers

The psychos.triggers module provides classes and functions for sending triggers and signals to external devices. It’s designed to simplify interactions with external hardware by providing a unified API and encapsulating repetitive logic, making it easier to synchronize behavioral experiments with external equipment.

Ports

Classes for sending signals to different communication ports, providing a unified and easy-to-use API for port communication and management.

psychos.triggers.get_port(name)	Get a port implementation by name (e.g. serial, parallel, dummy).
psychos.triggers.DummyPort([log])	Dummy port implementation for testing and debugging.
psychos.triggers.SerialPort(address[, ...])	Serial port implementation using pyserial.
psychos.triggers.ParallelPort(address[, ...])	Parallel port implementation using pyparallel.
psychos.triggers.BasePort(address[, log])	Base class for a port.

Triggers

Classes designed to send triggers through communication ports, encapsulating repetitive logic and providing utility methods to handle timing and trigger patterns conveniently.

psychos.triggers.StepTrigger(port[, mapping])	Trigger that sends a value without resetting the port.
psychos.triggers.DelayTrigger(port[, ...])	Trigger that sends a value, waits for a specified delay, then resets the port.
psychos.triggers.BaseTrigger(port[, mapping])	Abstract base class for trigger implementations.
