- This is an attempt at automatically using the SERDES GPIO to trigger stimuli on headstage-64 when the delay is 0
- This solution is imperfect. The big issue with it is that if both stimulator triggers are enabled and receiving input, then the although the hardware will ensure the electrical stimulator takes precedence, the optical stimulator trigger will still issue GPIO toggles. This effectively means the OpticalStimulatorTrigger and trigger electrical stimuli.
- If the GPO operator was stand alone, then this would not be surprising, but it is in this case.
- Remove explcity ostim and estim trigger delay registers in favor of dynamic delay via trigger register - Add the ability to turn off indication LED - Fix register values and frame defintions - Add persistant heartbeat device to Headstage64 device aggregate

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should this be Enable or StimEnable? The private field is stimEnable, and the corresponding property in the Optical stimulator is StimEnable
