The Tachistoscope is designed for use only with the Tainlab Psychology Software.

The Tachistoscope is available in two models.
Cat. No. PY102 - suitable for TecMaster or TecTrio.
Cat. No. PY103 - suitable for Fielder or TecFour (with output control fitted).

Older model TecFour interfaces may be modified to provide output control by replacing the
processor chip. A nominal charge applies.

Some early model Fielder interfaces may be upgraded. As long as the Fielder has an ultrasonic sensor socket (an 8 pin mini din socket on the right hand side of the case), it can be upgraded to drive the tachistoscope. Contact Tain Electronics for more details.

To determine if your Fielder/TecFour interface has output control, go to the Help About
screen in the Tainlab Psychology Software. With your interface connected, click System
Info... Look at the interface ROM number.

Output control is fitted for Fielder interfaces that have an ultrasonic sensor socket and
have ROM number 217 or higher.

Output control is fitted for TecFour interfaces with ROM number 166 or higher.

When ordering, please indicate the model of Tainlab interface you intend to use with the Tachistoscope.

Measures both direct and transient signals.

Requires a Tainlab interface - TecFour, TecMaster or Fielder.
