Signal scripts


Control

Control 200 series Magstim stimulators
Ctrl200series.sgs (05/10)

Ctrl200Series.zip

This script can be used to control older Magstim 200 models that have been fitted with the parallel port modification, using multiple states and the 1401 digital outputs. The script creates a suitable sampling configuration and allows the user to specify the Magstim output intensities and interval between outputs for each state used.

The connection between the Magstim parallel port interface and the 1401 digital outputs can be achieved with a modified data cable (contact us for details).

This script requires Signal v3.10 or higher.

Script control of waveform output
SETWAVE.SGS (05/98)

setwave.zip

This script demonstrates how to place a waveform output configuration into an output file and how to set the values of the waveform.

It will adjust the currently loaded sampling configuration to put a high-speed waveform output section into it. It is a simple example of defining and controlling the waveform.

The code as it stands simply sets a few locations to 32767 (= 5 volts) to generate a short square pulse, but it is easily modifiable to allow you to create any desired waveform.

Quickly generate a TMS intensity-response plot
FastMEPsr v10.sgs (02/23)

fastMEP.zip

This online script controls a TMS machine to generate the pulses required to build up a plot of MEP amplitude vs. stimulus intensity.

Stimulus intensities are randomised to minimise habituation and can be applied singly, under manual control, or automatically at fixed intervals. MEP amplitudes are measured automatically within a user-defined time range. A best fit Bolzmann sigmoid curve fit updates after each stimulus. There are options to edit the Intensity-Response plot to exclude data points where the background noise level was too high. In addition, the plot can be normalised relative to user-defined upper and lower limits.

MEP recordings, I-R plot and a spreadsheet of results, including the sigmoid fit statistics are saved to disk. The degree of automation means that it should be possible to obtain high quality intensity –response plots in only a few minutes.

The script includes a .pdf user guide and a quick-reference version that displays while the script is running at the click on a toolbar button.

Requirements

  • Signal v7.07 or higher.
  • ghutils.sgs, ghgridutils.sgs. Store these libraries of script functions in your SignalN folder (where N is the version number) in the folder named include. Alternatively, keep these files in the same folder as the FastMEPsr v10 script.
  • A TMS machine and appropriate remote control cables. Supported TMS devices include: MagStim, MagPro, PowerMag, DuoMag, DS8R and Neurosoft models.

Some of these scripts have come from users rather than the CED team. If you have a script that you would like to offer to fellow users via this page, please tell Tim Bergel. We provide some scripts for Spike2 too.

These scripts are stored as WinZip files, myscript.zip, except where they are shown as signal\scripts\myscript.sgs. Those latter files were installed with Signal and signal stands for the directory in which you installed Signal. See the summaries by clicking on the description in the side menu. Then you can down-load them by clicking on the filename.
