DS8R

An unofficial Python package for Digitimer DS8R current stimulator.

The files provided here enable control of Digitimer DS8R current stimulator using Python. The code is compatiable for Python 3.5 or higher and 64-bit Windows machines

This repository is a Python porting of cocoanlab/DS8R_matlab, based on work by Dr. Choong-Wan Woo and Sungwoo Lee in the COCOAN laboratory.

Installation

Important: Before use, make sure you have installed the original DS8R software, and saved all the files in one folder.

# Install from GitHub
pip install -e git+https://github.com/CCS-Lab/DS8R_python#egg=ds8r

Getting started

The code for the DS8R control using Python should be implemented using two basic parts as follows (refer to example.py for an example use):

from ds8r import DS8R

# create an object of the DS8R class and set parameter values.
ctl = DS8R(demand=20, pulse_width=1000, enabled=1, dwell=10,
           mode=1, polarity=1, source=1, recovery=20)

# apply parameters and trigger
ctl.run()
