First of all, great job guys. I really love showing this video to new students so that they get an idea of how a whole USV/behavioral system comes together.
On a more technical note, it might be of interest for some to know that Med-Associates also sells TTL (5V) I/O cards that can be used to "trigger" Avisoft recordings at the start of the experiment. Also, we have been able to trigger USV recordings using the 28V I/O cards (probably used here) by adding a solid-state DC-DC relay. This also allows for the recording to start automatically with a Med-PC IV program.
