Popis: Psychological experiments often require the control of a large number of output lines; unfortunately, the IBM PC provides only 32 8-bit ports through which communication may be implemented without risk of conflict with other software/hardware. A single 8-bit port may be used to control a large number of devices by adding appropriate decoder logic between the computer’s port and the devices that are to be controlled. Software and hardware are presented that illustrate this technique by controlling an 8-digit light-emitting diode display with a single IBM PC output port.
