RGB CRT gun control through labview

[AndyJosh]

Is there a way to directly control the low level graphic hardware? I am currently using Psychtoolbox in Matlab to display grating pattenrs on a CRT monitors and would like to know if there is a similar way to do that in labview.

THanks

Hi AndyJosh,

I don't know exactly how the Pscyhtoolbox works, but generally LabVIEW can do anything that can be done in text based languages (including calls to the Windows API and/or your graphics driver), so what you are trying to do should be possible.

Also, you may also call your MATLAB® script directly using the MATLAB® script node found on the Mathematics»Scripts & Forumlas»Script Nodes palette.  Note that this requires you to also have MATLAB® installed on your computer.
