8. THE TOOLKIT SOFTWARE SUITE

8.1. Using the menu system

The toolkit menu system provides centralised control over the various modules of the

software suite. Each software module is logically grouped in the tree structure shown to

the left in the screen shot below. When a module name is clicked a short description of its

function is given in the panel shown on the right. The description accompanying each

module can be printed or copied to the clipboard. Along with detailed descriptions are

references to academic papers and links to relevant websites. This should be your first

port of call when making use of the toolkit.

To start the menu select the toolkit folder from the “Start” button in Windows. Then click on

toolkit menu icon. To start a module double click on the title in the left hand tree.

8.2. Digital stimulus capture (DSC)

Using DSC together with the BBTK provides much the same functionality as an eight

channel digital oscilloscope. Typically two lines are used for detecting screen events on

the remote PC, two for detecting audio events and four additional lines are used if you are

using the BBTK response pad [optional extra] as your response device.

Powered-in lines that are typically used with BBTK microphones can also be used for

passively detecting remote switch closures that occur on your own response devices. You

can also use the two powered-in lines with the external opto-detector modules [optional

extra] to provide up to four opto-detectors.

Typically DSC is used to check for the onset, duration and synchrony of one or more

stimulus types. The best way to illustrate the use of DSC is with three short tutorials.
