Introduction
XID stands for eXperiment Interface Devices. It is a set of commands that allows researchers to interact with devices used in experimental psychology and other research disciplines, providing uniformity across devices.
This technology made its debut in April 2002 with the introduction of the original Lumina LSC400 controller used with fMRI response pads, and was later deployed on all Cedrus devices.
The XID 2 platform made its debut in 2013 with the introduction of the Lumina 3G controller. It uses more powerful and up-to-date processors, rethinks the I/O portion, and adds hardware features such as Keyboard mode and light sensor support.
This support section documents XID 2 devices only, listed above. If using an older device, see archive of the XID 1 commands.
