8 Downloading Stimuli
8.1 Downloading Stimulus Files
After having set up the stimulus file, you can download the file to the connected STG.
You can select the channels that you want to download or download the complete file.
You can start the stimulation directly after the download, or start it manually with the software
or hardware controls, or start it on a trigger. See also chapter "Operating the STG" for more
information.
Warning: Check the file thoroughly before downloading it on the STG. The stimulus
display is independent from the worksheet and from the download. Verify that you
download
only the channels that you want to use. Do not start the STG if you are not
sure about the channel configuration or the nature of the downloaded file.
Select the channels for downloading under Download Channel and Download Sync.
On the STG menu, click Download or click on the toolbar to download only the selected
channels onto the STG or Download and Start to download only the selected channels
and start the stimulation directly after the complete download.
When downloading files created in MC_Stimulus II software to a stimulus generator of the
STG3000 series for each download all channels are stopped and cleared before the new paradigm
is downloaded. All available channels are downloaded one after the other regardless of the space
each channel needs, which means that the available memory is optimally used. This mode should
always be used when large and complicated stimulation patterns are used, for example white
noise stimulation.
Disable / enable warning messages
Cancel this option to disable the message boxes displaying compiler warnings during stimulus
download.
The two error messages that can be disabled are: "warning: signal length shorter than the
maximum" and "warning: non zero last amplitude value". They may present a nuisance
if you download multiple stimulus files in batch mode.
 On the Settings menu, select or deselect Enable Compiler Warnings.
