Hi All, I am new-ish to PTB and just acquired a MCC USB-1208FS DAQ. It works fine with my MacbookPro laptop (10.7.3), as I expected. I'm having trouble using it with a Dell Latitutude E6320 laptop running Windows 7. I think part of the problem is in how the device identifies itself to PyschHID--it doens't seem to pick up the product name and some other details, and I also get error messages when writing to the device. I'm pasting in output from both laptops for comparison. On the Mac I have version '3.0.9.285207268' (Nov 15, 2011) of PsychHID, while on Win I have version '3.0.9.292733338' (Feb 9, 2012). Matlab versions are R2010a on the Mac and R2009b on the Win. Has anyone successfully used this DAQ with a Win install? Is there a step I'm missing? Thanks, Andrea ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I call devices = PsychHID('Devices'); On the mac, devices.product produces: devices.product ans = USB-1208FS ans = USB-1208FS ans = USB-1208FS ans = USB-1208FS ans = Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad ans = Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad ans = Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad ans = Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad ans = Apple IR ans = Apple Mikey HID Driver while on the win machine it produces devices.product ans = Interface 3 ans = Interface 2 ans = Interface 1 ans = Interface 0 ans = Cordless Deviceer ans = Cordless Deviceer ans = Cordless Receiver ans = Cordless Receiver ans = USB Receiver ans = USB Receiver ans = USB Receiver It captures the manufacturer and serial number correctly, but not the product name, inputs, outputs, total elements. For example, looking at interface 0 (devices(4)) produces this on the mac: usagePageValue: 65280 usageValue: 1 usageName: 'Page: 0xff00, Usage: 0x1' index: 4 transport: 'USB' vendorID: 2523 productID: 130 version: 256 manufacturer: 'MCC' product: 'USB-1208FS' serialNumber: '016CC9F6' locationID: 68157440 interfaceID: -1 totalElements: 406 features: 0 inputs: 176 outputs: 229 collections: 1 axes: 0 buttons: 0 hats: 0 sliders: 0 dials: 0 wheels: 0 and this on the win: usagePageValue: 65280 usageValue: 1 usageName: 'TBD' index: 4 transport: [1x88 char] vendorID: 2523 productID: 130 version: 256 manufacturer: 'MCC' product: 'Interface 0' serialNumber: '016CC9F6' locationID: -507571348 interfaceID: 0 totalElements: 0 features: 0 inputs: 0 outputs: 0 collections: 0 axes: 0 buttons: 0 hats: 0 sliders: 0 dials: 0 wheels: 0 Finally, PsychHIDTest produces this on the mac: PsychHIDTest TestPsychHID Making a list of all your HID-compliant devices. ...

Finally, when I try to write to it, using line 36 of DaqBlinkLED.m and manually identifying the daq as 4 (interface 0 of the device) err=PsychHID('SetReport',daq,2,reportId,TheReport); % Blink LED I get the following error message err = n: -1 name: 'The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation.' description: 'The supplied user buffer is not valid for the requested operation.' -- Andrea Grant Visual Neuroimaging Technologist Center for Magnetic Resonance Research University of Minnesota [gran0260@...](mailto:gran0260@...) 612-626-4948
