PTB Settings Tab

The Settings tab of the NIF Toolbar GUI allows the user to launch various settings apps to quickly load, edit and save variables related to specific aspects of behavioral experiments and associated hardware. The variables controlled by each app in the Settings tab are saved to a unique field of the Params object, as listed in the table below.
