Attempts at installing a neurofeedback option 23/12/2022

Authors: Wietske van der Zwaag and Johan van der Meer

Lots of info in the package from Paul de Bruin. See scdropbox/Wietske/XTC-package-v8

Given that CorbaDataDumper is installed (check C:\xtc) to run it as its own external gadget, type the following in the command line:

• cd C:\xtc
• CorbaDataDumper 193.176.235.20 193.176.235.20 c:\CorbaDataDumps

1) Set the geometry parameter 'External control' to 'full control' and start your scan. A message 'Under remote control' will appear.

2) Then go to c:\CorbaDataDumps\ScannerUpdates and paste in an (empty) text file called start.txt

Your scan will start.

Your data will appear in c:\CorbaDataDumps\0000 (and higher numbers for later scans)

To use on an external computer

1. install the CorbaDataDumper on your pc. It's already on the 7T stim pc.
2. set the correct IP address in the Service Application (under MR applications) - connectivity - external configuration;

127.0.0.1 for the scanner itself and 193.176.235.176 for the stim pc. 

1. update the fussite_cs.exe.config file following instructions from the pdf (WZ did this - 23/12) (save file as 'stim pc' - put back pauls)

1. log in as admin on the stim pc
2. ping the stim pc to make sure you can see it from the scanner
3. now type:

• cd C:\xtc
• CorbaDataDumper 193.176.235.20 193.176.235.176 c:\CorbaDataDumps

1. start your scan
2. put the start.txt in CorbaDataDumps\ScannerUpdates

Current state: on the stim pc, the folder 'ScannerUpdates' is not made automatically. Putting a .txt file in there doesn't start the scan. All other messages look fine.
