Using RTV-24 TTL level inputs
 | Before connecting something to your RTV-24 digitizer, we strongly recommend you read the manual supplied with the device. Please note that Stoelting Co. accept no responsibility for damage caused by incorrect connections. |
Introduction
Connecting a switch to an RTV-24 TTL input will allow the ANY-maze software to detect when the switch changes state. For example, you could connect a lever in a Skinner box and have the ANY-maze software count the lever presses; or you could connect a micro-switch attached to a platform in a step-down passive avoidance apparatus and have ANY-maze activate a shocker when the animal steps off the platform.
Details
Details on how to connect a switch to a TTL level input can be found in the Connecting an on/off input switch topic.
Other information
| • | It would probably also be a good idea to read this topic about debouncing switch inputs. |
| • | You can alter the logic of an RTV-24's inputs using the configuration window. This way, you can have ANY-maze consider the input as active when it's high rather than when it's low (the default). |
