PythonScripting: question about OVStimulationSet object

[pwierzgala]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand your Python scripting interface and I have a couple of questions:

• Is there any documentation for python scripting interface or I have to figure everyting out from source code?
• There is a class OVStimulationSet. It looks like a list of stimulations. Could you tell me why it's contructor takes two time type parameters?

  Code: Select all

  stimSet = OVStimulationSet(self.getCurrentTime(), self.getCurrentTime()+1./self.getClock())

• What's the difference between self.getCurrentTime() and self.getClock()?

Hello,

there's a small tutorial here,

http://openvibe.inria.fr/tutorial-using ... -openvibe/

Additionally, I'd hazard a guess that the parameters of the Stimulation Set are the current kernel time and the end time, respectively. getClock() likely returns the clock frequency of the box. You can find these out by looking at the Python box source codes under contrib/plugins/processing/python/.


Good luck,
Jussi

@jtlindgren thanks, your answer has helped me a lot.

I still don't understand why do I need to provide OVStimulationSet with start time and end time so I'll leave the question opened. For me it looks like OVStimulation has all required data to represent a stimulation and there's no need for any extra times.

Code: Select all

stim_set = OVStimulationSet(self.getCurrentTime(), self.getCurrentTime()+1./self.getClock())
stim = OVStimulation(self.stim_code, self.getCurrentTime(), 0.) 
stim_set.append(stim)
self.output[0].append(stim_set)

Maybe I'll figure it out when I record some signal and stimulations with my scenario. I'll wirite a solution if I find one.

I've abandoned writing application in python and decided to write it in c++ so just for note: it looks like I won't answer the question from previous post.
