RWD system and compatibility with pyPhotometry

[magbaeta]

In the pyPhotometry documentation, RWD is mentioned as a low-cost option for fiber patch cords and fiber cannulae.

Beyond these accessories, we would be interested to hear whether anyone has experience using RWD’s full photometry system and how well it integrates with pyPhotometry.

In particular, any insights on optical/electrical compatibility, signal acquisition, and practical steps for evaluating and testing RWD hardware alongside pyPhotometry would be very helpful.

Any experiences, insights, or feedback who have explored this would be great.

Thank you!

Hi @magbaeta,

I have never used the RWD system but from a quick look at their website it does not seem that it would be compatible because it does not appear to provide direct access through connectors to the photoreciever output signals or the LED control signals which pyPhotometry uses to interface with acqusition hardware.

best,

Thomas

Thanks a lot, Thomas!
