Using the RB-x30 Response Pad With SuperLab for Windows 2.0
Last Revision: May 3, 2004

The information in this document applies to:

• Owners of an RB-530, RB-730, RB-830, or RB-834 response pad who want to use it with SuperLab for Windows 2.0x.

Summary

In addition to installing the USB driver, the minimum version of SuperLab for Windows needed to work with an RB-x30 response pad is 2.0.4.

The Details

The two steps necessary to use your RB-x30 response pad with SuperLab for Windows are:

• Install the USB driver. Some devices such as keyboards, mice, and joysticks come with a USB driver (a small program) already built into Windows. All others must have a USB driver installed separately to make Windows "see" the device.

• Make sure that you are using SuperLab for Windows version 2.0.4 or later.

To verify which version of SuperLab you are using, click on the Help menu and select "About SuperLab". A dialog (window) will appear and display the version number.

If you are using a version prior to 2.0.4, you can download version 2.0.4 by clicking on this link. You do not need to remove the version currently installed, nor will you need to re-enter your license number or activation key.

Setting Your Experiment in SuperLab

This part is also easy. In SuperLab:

• Click on the Experiment menu and chose "Input From...". A dialog (screen) appears showing you the list of available input devices. If you are using version 2.0.4 or later, you should see the following items listed in that dialog:
  
     RB-530 Response Pad
     RB-730 Response Pad
     RB-830 Response Pad
     RB-834 Response Pad
   

• Select the option that corresponds to the response pad model that you are using.

• Click on the Options button. Another smaller dialog appears. After a few seconds, this smaller dialog will display a message indicating whether SuperLab can "see" the response pad or not.

• Click on OK button twice.
