PROPixx¶

class propixx.PROPixx[source]¶

Bases: DpxDevice, VideoFeatures

Class Definition for the PROPixx Device.

Tip

If you want to use these functions, you must connect your PROPixx device with a USB cable. If you want to use the PROPixx Controller, see PROPixxCtrl.

>>> from pypixxlib.propixx import PROPixx
>>> my_device = PROPixx()
>>> my_device.function() # A PROPixx has no sub-systems, only function and bases.
>>> my_device.BaseFunction() # A base function from one of the class' bases.

set3dCrosstalk(crosstalk)[source]¶

Set 3D crosstalk (0-1) which should be subtracted from stereoscopic stimuli.

Warning

This only works with RB3D mode and requires revision 6 of the PROPixx.

Parameters:: crosstalk (double) – A value between 0 and 1 which represents the 3d crosstalk.
