The network interface opens custom access to data that is internally used by Turbo-BrainVoyager (TBV) during and after real-time processing including information of ROI, design matrix, (pre-processed) raw data and statistical information inclusive the content of the design matrix, beta maps and contrast t-maps. This plugin allows to perform additional operations and calculations outside the TBV. Well defined access queries are used to get access to the data via a TCP connection. Therefore a server implementation allows to get access to the whole data that is also provided by the plugin interface during and after the real-time processing. A server client approach is used to get access to the data at any time. Therefore the server provides all features to get access to the data in real-time while running the analysis. Send a data specific query to get the requested information from the server.
The TBV network interface is started automatically with TBV. To change the default port (55555) open the MasterTBV settings dialog from the file menu and adapt the port in the bottom of the dialog. Please restart TBV after changing the port.
The complete documentation of the network interface can be found attached.
