Co-acquisition of data

Aim

To acquire UltraVox XT data together with EthoVision XT or The Observer XT data.

Procedure

Follow the instructions that apply to your software (EthoVision XT or The Observer XT).

1.In UltraVox XT, open the acquisition screen.

In EthoVision XT, open the acquisition screen. In The Observer XT, create a new observation.

2.In EthoVision XT, start the trial and release the animal in the arena.

In The Observer XT, start the observation.

3.On the EthoVision XT/The Observer XT computer, the software activates the batch file. The file start.txt is sent to the Sync folder on the UltraVox XT computer. When this occurs, UltraVox XT detects the file and starts recording.

4.In EthoVision XT, after a fixed time, the trial stops automatically depending on the Time condition specified in the Trial Control rule (Trigger settings for EthoVision XT). In The Observer XT, stop the observation.

In both cases, this stops recording in UltraVox XT.

5.In UltraVox XT, detect and label the calls.

6.In UltraVox XT, export the call data to EthoVision XT or The Observer XT. See Export call statistics

7.In EthoVision XT or The Observer XT, import the call data.
