PET Flasher: A machine language subroutine for timing visual displays and response latencies

PET Flasher presents a one-line stimulus display at any location on a PET/CBM (Commodore Business Machines) screen and measures reaction time from display onset. Display duration is accurately controlled in 16.7-msec steps, and reaction time measurement is accurate within ±1 msec. PET Flasher is easily incorporated within any PET/CBM BASIC program, since as a subroutine, it is called only when precise timing operations are required.
