The DataHub Makes use of the lab streaming layer. The lab streaming layer (LSL) is a system for the unified collection of measurement time series in research experiments that handles both the networking, time-synchronization, (near-) real-time access as well as optionally the centralized collection, viewing and disk recording of the data.

Installation

Our support for LSL is mainly done in python. Download python here: Please choose a 64 bit version.. Run the installer and make sure to add Python to the file path (it's an option in the installer). Open a command prompt, start with upgrading the pip installer by typing:
c:>python -m pip install --upgrade pip
Then:
c:>pip install pylsl

more info: cross platform pylsl

Versions

The TSG uses the version 1.15.0. Open a command and type the following to find the version used:

c:>python
>>> import pylsl
>>> print(pylsl.__version__)

Usage

Python

<syntaxhighlight lang="python" line>

1. !/usr/bin/env python

import threading from pylsl import StreamInfo, StreamOutlet

def getData():

   while running:
       buffer_in = getSensorData()
       send_data = True
       time.sleep(0.001)

info = StreamInfo(

   name='MyStream', 
   type='COP', 
   channel_count=4, 
   nominal_srate = 200, 
   source_id='BalanceBoard_stream'
   )

outlet = StreamOutlet(info)

threading.Thread(target=getData).start() while running == True: if send_data: outlet.push_chunk(buffer_in) send_data = False
