I have a Med-PC program running on two computers with the same kind of interface card DIG 704 PCI with 12 Self Administration Chambers run on the Med-PC-IV version 4 release 1 build 49.
The code we were testing was working fine without any timer problem years before. The lab was planning to run another set of experiment using this program very soon. We tested the program and found the timer was off compared with the digital timer. The timer ran on both computers also had different time outcome compared to the digital timer

When you log onto your Med PC computers, are you doing it with a user account that has administrator priviledges for those computers? MED-PC IV needs to run with Real Time Priority, and if you’re logging in with a user account that doesn’t have admin privileges, then someone who does needs to give you the rights to change priority levels – your IT support group would be the people to contact about this. A quick way to check is to go into Task Manager, select the Processes tab, find MEDPC_IV.exe, right mouse click on it and choose Set Priority – Realtime should have a black dot next to it. If Windows won’t let you do this, then you don’t have admin priviledges and you’ll need to contact your IT people to help you out.
