iRn IR Driver Interface

The iR5 and iR10 are specialized interfaces for infrared sensor beams. These modules have built-in power and logical connections to drive external IR sensors and send TTL events whenever the subject crosses the beam, without the need for any external signal processing.

  • Manual trigger buttons for each IR port simplify testing and debugging
  • Status lights for each IR beam monitor subject movement during sessions.

See the Hardware Manual for information on iRn technical specifications.

iRn Options

iR5 Interface

Click on a port to enable it. Set the Name of the port to something that makes sense for your experiment, e.g. 'NosePoke'.

iR5 Input Options

All iRn inputs go through a logical input processor. See Logic Input Processor for more details.

After you define a port, you can modify it or move it by right-clicking on the port. See Design Interface for more options.

iRn Context Menu

The IR Power setting lets you set the IR Drive Power (1 to 8).
