The 'egi' folder is in both "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSesame\share\opensesame_plugins" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSesame\share\opensesame_plugins\pynetstation_init", where "pynetstation_init.py" calls "import egi.fake as egi"

Unclear why egi.fake was not found.

I use OpenSesame version3.3.9 and Python 3.8.3

Thank you.

We are trying to send triggers from a stimulation computer to NetStation 4.5.1. NetStation is installed on a Mac OSX system and the stim computer is running under Windows 10.
The two computers are connected with an Ethernet cable.
We are able to send the trigger using this script, but a delay of around 150ms (we didn't measured it exactly) constantly occurs. The delay seems variable as well. We observed the delay by comparing the apparition of the event in the log window of NetStation with the 'print' in Python
We will try to perform this test locally (with only one computer) to better tackle the problem
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

import time
import numpy as np
import copy
import egi.simple as egi

​ns = egi.Netstation()
ns.connect('10.10.10.122', 55513)
ns.BeginSession()

​
def trigger_write(code='testev'):
    ns.sync()
    ns.send_event(code)
    return

for ii in range(50):
    trigger_write(str(ii))
    print('tip')
    time.sleep(1)

missing parenthesis in call to "print". Did you mean
print("egi: stopping ...)?" (threaded.py, line 328)

I tried to fix this by adding parentheses to print. Nevertheless, it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Thank you.

Hi Nomember,

I would like to ask you a question about the EGI reference manualse. We are developing a piece of code for sending timestamps from arduino to NS. However, there is a lack of technical description of the protocol on the EGI sites and on the internet. In the pynetstation plugin, there is a reference to technical manuals:
"EGI Hardware Technical Manual" of Dec 21 2006,
Chapter 7 and Appendix G
One can also see "EGI Systems Technical Manual", Ch. 6 and App. G,
or "EGI System 200 Technical Manual" -- Ch. 6 and Appendix E,
( though the last one seems to be a little bit more incomplete than the other ones ) .

Do you have an idea where we could get the manuals?

Thank you,
Vlasta
