TimeSpentOnWheel

The TimeSpentOnWheel (Aeon.Foraging) node monitors the motion of a given foraging wheel and accumulates the total time the animal is actively turning the wheel.

Within this node, the WheelMoving (Aeon.Acquisition) node reports whether the wheel is in motion or not, and accumulates the differences between timestamps emitted by the foraging patch while the wheel is in motion.

Inputs

None

Outputs

Sequence of double values carrying the number of seconds the wheel has been in motion, accumulated from the data timestamps.
