The Vertical Sync sensor is used on a computer/laptop monitor for time accurate visual presentation. The sensor measures screen brightness. It generates a BITSI trigger to the com-port("A" = ON/light, "a" = OFF/noLight) when the amount of light is higher than the (customizable) threshold. This means that the exact onset of visual stimulus on screen can be marked. It can easily be attached with a pincher to the screen. The Vertical Sync sensor is connected to a computer with a usb connection.

The Vertical Sync sensor is connected to a computer with a usb connection, a serial port is emulated. You may want to read about [[presentation modes]] in order to decide how to use the sync sensor.

This means that when light falls on the sensor, a capital A will be sent to the serial port. A lowercase 'a' will be sent when the signal is deactivated(no light).
Meaning when light falls on the sensor, a capital A will be sent to the serial port. A lowercase 'a' will be sent when the signal is deactivated(no light).
