This repo contains a class to handle communication between MATLAB and BrainVisionRecorder (BVR) using RemoteControlServer (RCS), typicaly to Start and Stop recording in BVR from MATLAB.
The network communication uses pnet, a mex file.
pnet can be found here : https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/345-tcp-udp-ip-toolbox-2-0-6'
pnet may be bundled with PsychToobox.
% create object, and close all previous connections
rc = BVR_RCS();
rc.closeAll()
% set connection IP and port, then connect
rc.setRecorderIP('127.0.0.1')
rc.setPort(6700)
rc.tcpConnect()
% start (or check) that BVR is in Monitoring mode, ready to start record
rc.sendMonitoring()
% up to you if you want to allow or not file overwrite
rc.sendOverwriteOFF()
% output file name will be <ExperimentNumber>_<SubjectID>[.eeg, .vhdr .vmrk]
rc.sendExperimentNumber(date)
rc.sendSubjectID('test_subjectID_rcs')
% lets go ! start the recording
rc.sendStartRecording()
pause(1.0)
% send annotations
rc.sendAnnotation('blank','stim_visual')
pause(0.1)
rc.sendAnnotation('fixation_cross','stim_visual')
pause(0.1)
rc.sendAnnotation('bip','audio_cue')
pause(0.1)
rc.sendAnnotation('fixation_cross','stim_visual')
pause(0.1)
rc.sendAnnotation('blank','stim_visual')
pause(0.1)
% pause and continue
rc.sendPauseRecording()
pause(0.1)
rc.sendContinueRecording()
pause(0.5)
% and now stop recording
rc.sendStopRecording()
% close the connection
rc.closeAll()
There are tooltips on graphic elements : place your mouse cursor over it.
In the exemples bellow rc is the object associted with the GUI, freshly created by openGUI() static method
rc = BVR_RCS.openGUI()% containter = figure OR axes OR uipanel
container = uipanel()
rc = BVR_RCS.openGUI(container)Some RCS commandes not programmed in this API, in particular the comandes whith variable returned message size.
Even old versions shoud work, as long as they have object oriented capabilities (R2011+ ?)
