When I try to send eeg market through parallel port, this is the error I am getting. Someone please help me through the process of setting up eeg markers through parallel port to be sent to actichamp brain vision recorder.

Thank you for this! I hasd the same problem so it helps!
If I understand properly, we cannot use the rcs.sendAnnotations() function to send triggers though? So you recommend using the serial port communication right?
Thank you again

Hello @mona_arthi_efcibha

Sorry, I do not know what that means in this context. I just posted the links to the EEG Brain Products setup. On the particular PC I use and with Brain Vision, I could not use the parallel port with PsychoPy, but I can use the parallel port with Psychtoolbox. I could use the serial port with PsychoPy, so I decided it was not worth pursuing why the parallel port was not recognised by PsychoPy.

Best wishes Jens
