LabMaestro Simulator

VPixx hardware simulator

The LabMaestro Simulator is a software tool that allows researchers to develop and test experiment code without being connected to VPixx hardware. The Simulator creates a virtual data acquisition system with the same features as the DATAPixx2, DATAPixx3, VIEWPixx, VIEWPixx /3D or PROPixx Controller. This virtual system will respond to commands from our MATLAB/Psychtoolbox and Python APIs, and can return informative timing about experiment synchronization, schedules, triggers and other I/O properties.

Visualize outgoing triggers and signals with the Signal Viewer, simulate RESPONSEPixx presses and eye tracking data via keyboard and mouse inputs, and generate mock incoming triggers and signals from third party systems. Transition seamlessly to pilot testing on hardware with little to no changes to your experiment code.

Whether you are working remotely, or do not have regular access to high-demand data collection equipment, the LabMaestro Simulator is an asset for experiment development. Each paid license supports up to three active ‘seats’ so trainees can work concurrently on their own machines, from anywhere.
