Here is a description of the CORTEX demo files included in the \source\demos directory
|
Speed Demo - perfect for testing
the speed of bitmaps on your video card
|
| SPEED.1 |
timing
file for speed - toggles between horizontal and vertical sinusoidal gradiants
of varying sizes to assess the uniformity of page flipping (e.g. ensure
there is no "stutter") and the maximum speed at different screen and bitmap-size
resolutions. The results of our analyses on a number of boards are listed
here
and in video_speed_comp.xls |
| SPEED.ITM |
items
file for speed demo program |
| SPEED.CND |
conditions

|
Main Demo - includes a heavily
commented generic CSS file with some added frills
|
| DEMO.1 |
timing
file for main demo - shows multiple movies, keyboard control of object
postion, and adding CSS interrupts |
| DEMO.ITM |
items
file for main demo program |
| DEMO.CND |
conditions

|
A Second Demo
|
| TOUCH.1 |
CSS
file to test touch screen (or mouse emulation thereof) - shows items, and
which item pressed, along with storage of collected data to the EPP buffer,
which
is saved to disk at the end of each trial. Run:toUch menu shows timing
and position of touches |
| TOUCH.ITM |
items
file for touch screen demo |
| TOUCH.CND |

| BRAS.B20 |
shows
selective branching/training based on touch screen responses |
| OEIL.B20 |
shows
branching based on saccades to items |
| OEILBRAS.B20 |
shows
branching based on saccades to items AND touch screen responses |

These files test all supported
graphics functions - use gtest.itm and gtest.cnd, except where noted
|
| GTEST.1 |
tests
panning and scrolling |
| GTEST.2 |
tests
pan and sweep |
| GTEST.3 |
tests
window resizing |
| GTEST.4 |
tests
non-kernel graphics functions (e.g. ones not beginning with 'G') |
| COLOR.1 |
uses
number pad to test single color and palette changing functions - load 4LUTs.plt
from Lut:Restore |
| LUTTEST.1 |
shows
several methods for changing individual or blocks of colors - use demo.itm
and demo.cnd, and use Lut:Restore on 4LUTs.plt to load demo palettes |
| MOVIE.1 |
shows
two movies (one stationary, the other sweeping) and a number-pad controlled
fixspot - use demo.itm and demo.cnd |
| TITEST.1 |
tests
low level TIGA commands - only valid for ticortex.exe |
| |
|
|
The files test non-graphics
related functions - use any .itm or .cnd file, except where noted
|
| BARTEST.1 |
dynamically
reads bar state and prints results |
| BTEST.1 |
tests
blocking (staircase) functions - use gtest.itm and gtest.cnd, and create
3 blocks with varying parameters to visualize the use of these functions |
| DEV.1 |
tests
DEVinp() and DEVoutp() functions - dynamically reads data from I/O ports
and displays values |
| EOG.1 |
tests
eog and epp storage functions - also demonstrates how data can be read
from and written to these buffers directly from within CSS |
| EXTERNS.1 |
test
of Run:ExternVars:create_Subset - read in externs.1 from Run:ExternVars:create_Subset,
and also from Timing:Add - will initialize arrays of variables, and allow
easy modification of them using ExternVars:Use_subset |
| FASTTEST.1 |
fast
(500ms per trial) test of a prototype CSS function (initializing data collection,
displaying histograms, etc.) |
| FTEST.1 |
example
of complex macros and file functions |
| GETAKEY.1 |
displays
the keycode values returned by GetAKey() |
| IFTEST.1 |
tests
boolean && and || functions |
| PRINTF.1 |
tests
printf()
and sprintf() functions |
| SCANF.1 |
test
of scanf() and sscanf() functions - also demonstrates how convenient complex
macros can be |
| SER_TEST.1 |
test
of serial port functions. Needs to also be read in from ExternVars:create_Subset
to ease selection of communication parameters |
| SIZEOF.1 |
test
of sizeof() function |
| STEST.1 |
complex
demo of all screen functions plus timers, keyboard, marking item positions,
binding fixspots, and more. Use circ.itm and circ.cnd |
| SYSTEST.1 |
validates
most of the math and system functions |
| TIME.1 |
speed
test of CSS operations - indicates the number of CSS operations performed
per second |
| TIME.2 |
demonstrates
multiple simultaneous CSS interrupt threads, and their cooperative functioning |
| UTEST.1 |
tests
many \ufns\_userfns.c functions |
| VGA.1 |
tests
drawing of simple objects on user screen |
| VGA.2 |
draws
random colored shapes on user screen |
| |
