Syntalos Sync Validation Example Datasets

This dataset contains some data used to evaluate the performance of the Syntalos data acquisition platform in various scenarios.

The "Marathon" dataset contains one run over multiple hours to evaluate data synchrony after a long experiment, while the "LaunchSyncVarSteps*" sets contain Syntalos starting and stopping the same experiment many times to determine the inherent start latency jitter.

For every run, Syntalos was tasked with acquiring a variety of data from an electrophysiology amplifier, UCLA Miniscope and two different types of cameras, while also responding to incoming periodic events via a Python script.

Used PC Systems for data acquisition:

HP DV7-7147SG laptop with an Intel i5-3210M and 8 GB of memory

Lenovo E495 laptop

PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G CPU and 16.0 GB of RAM
