I was hoping to have computer tasks running with Inquisit on one computer and collect fNIRS neuroimaging data on a second adjacent computer.

At the moment I'm manually time stamping my fNIRS data by pressing a keyboard key when the participants start and end the task (i.e. pressing "1" start and "0" end). Alternatively I could look at the Inquisit data file and manually copy over the time stamps after but it's a bit of a chore to do repeatedly and if the clock times on the computers were ever out of sync for some unforeseeable reason that could really make a mess of things. 

I was wondering if it's possible to code my Inquisit script to send the markers to another computer, i.e. when participants begin and end a block to register a keyboard press on an adjacent computer. I wouldn't need millisecond accuracy, but it'd be nice. Is there any relatively simple way of coding this or setting it up that I'm overlooking in the documentation? 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
