Setup bossdevice RESEARCH
Common requirements
- bossdevice hardware.
- Control PC running Windows or Linux (see System Requirements).
- MATLAB Release R2023b or newer.
- Simulink Real-Time and Simulink Real-Time Target Support Package installed.
- bossdevice firmware (MLDATX file).
Bittium NeurOne Users
- NeurOne biosignal amplifier with firmware 1.4.30 or newer.
- NeurOne software installed on the windows computer version 1.5.1 or newer.
- 1x LAN cable connecting NeurOne biosignal amplifier and the bossdevice.
- 1x LAN cable connecting bossdevice and the Control PC.
- 1x LAN cable connecting NeurOne biosignal amplifier and the Control PC.
Brainproducts actiCHamp/Turbolink Users
- 1x LAN cable connecting actiCHamp biosignal amplifier (via Turbolink) and the bossdevice.
- 1x LAN cable connecting bossdevice and the Control PC.
Connecting with Biosignal Amplifier (EEG Device)
The input of the bossdevice i.e. the EEG data is provided by connecting the Biosignal Amplifier (EEG device e.g. Bittium’s NeurOne or Brain Product’s actiCHamp) with the bossdevice using a standard LAN Cable. Search the “REAL TIME OUT” LAN port at the back plate of your EEG device and connect it to the “Biosignal” LAN port available at the bossdevice research. More details on this topic are available in Setup Biosignal Amplifier. You can also see the “Biosignal” port on the bossdevice research in the figure shown below. Connecting with Synchronizing Devices
The bossdevice RESEARCH can send up to 4 TTL output signals to connected synchronizing devices from its output port. Search the TTL OUT 1-4” BNC ports at back plate of the bossdevice RESEARCH and connect it to the BNC ports of your intended device.
In addition to the TTL output the 8 bit LPT marker ports can also be connected to the bossdevice RESEARCH for a numerical input or can also be output from bossdevice RESEARCH to write synchronizing markers to the raw EEG data or for any other purpose.
Connecting with Monitor
Monitor setup is optional and not recommended for normal use cases. It shows the useful information and analytics of the bossdevice RESEARCH time of execution and errors (if any) at the ocassion of debugging and setting up the device. The Display Port from backplate of the bossdevice RESEARCH may be connected to the monitor.
