What Else Is Needed
This handheld response device needs an electronic interface to convert the optical signals to standard computer interfacing signals. In most cases you will also need a long optical fiber extension bundle to allow this device to be used at a distance from the interface unit. Examples of the interface and bundle are shown below in the Related Products section.
MR safe: no metal, electronics or magnetic parts. Can be used in the magnet room.
