Control UltraVox XT from other software

Aim

To start and stop recording in UltraVox XT from EthoVision XT or The Observer XT.

Example: You plan to video-track animals with EthoVision XT or record their behavior with The Observer XT and, at the same time, record ultrasound with UltraVox XT. For ease of use you want to start and stop recording with one click, in such a way the UltraVox data and the EthoVision XT/The Observer XT data are synchronized.

How it works

1.When proper communication is set between the two applications, you can start and stop recording in UltraVox XT by clicking the Start trial/Stop trial button in the EthoVision XT / The Observer XT software.

note  The External trigger does not work if UltraVox XT displays the spectrogram realtime. In tha case, click the Pause (||) button in the UltraVox XT Acquisition screen to stop the real-time spectrogram.

2.You can then import call data into EthoVision XT / The Observer XT for combined analysis of tracks, behavior and vocalizations. See Import call data in The Observer XT and Import call data in EthoVision XT.
