[FieldTrip] Problem detecting triggers with real time synchronous analysis

[Adam C. Snyder]

Hello,
     I'm trying to perform a real time synchronous analysis in response to a particular trigger, but it isn't working. Here are some brief details of the setup: we're using BioSemi ActiveTwo, a December 2011 version of FieldTrip and MATLAB 2010b.
     I've managed to get the biosemi2ft executable running, and if I send a trigger through the BioSemi system, the details are noted in the command window. However, within the ft_realtime_synchronous function, the trigger events are not being found. The built-in status updates (e.g., "CMS_IN_RANGE", etc.), in contrast, are picked up by the ft_read_event call within ft_realtime_synchronous function, which adds to my confusion.
     My configurations are something like these:

          cfg.dataset = 'buffer://localhost:1972';
          cfg.bcifun = @hello_world;
          cfg.blocksize = 1;
          cfg.trigger = [4 2];
          cfg.jumptoeof = 'yes';
          cfg.bufferdata = 'last'; %maybe the name of this option was different -- I'm typing from memory

     I hope someone can kindly help me to figure this out, and thank you in advance for whatever help you can provide.
