Using the RB-x30 Response Pad With SuperLab for Macintosh 1.7x
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 Mac.

Summary

In addition to installing the USB driver, the minimum version of SuperLab for Mac needed to work with an RB-x30 response pad is 1.77.

The Details

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

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

• On the side of the response pad where the USB cable is found, there is a block of four switches (called DIP switches). Make sure that switches 1 and 2 are UP, and switches 3 and 4 are down.
  

• Make sure that you are using SuperLab for Mac version 1.77 or later.

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

If you are using a version prior to 1.77, please contact Cedrus for the latest version.

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 USB Response Pad
     RB-730 USB Response Pad
     RB-830 USB Response Pad
     RB-834 USB Response Pad
   

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

• Click on OK button.
