Panel

The newest generation of our SCHUHFRIED panels has been available since September 2025. It includes the SCHUHFRIED standard panel (SH) and the SCHUHFRIED universal panel (UH). The documentation for previous panels is available in the archive.

The panel you need depends on the tests you want to administer. The use of a panel (SH panel or UH panel) is absolutely necessary for the following tests: COG, DT, INHIB, PP-R, RT, SIGNAL, STROOP, SWITCH, VIGIL, WAF, WAFV, ZBA.

If you also want to test eye-hand coordination with the 2HAND and SMK tests, the universal panel (UH) is required.

All other tests in the VTS do not require a panel. However, many tests can still be administered using the panel to avoid switching input devices (e.g., from a PC keyboard to a panel).

The USB-C port must be used for power supply. Using the USB-A port for power supply is not possible.

Joystick guides

The joystick guides are attached to the UH panel as shown. The joystick can be removed to make installation easier. Joystick guides are required for administering the SMK and 2HAND tests. Please refer to the test manual for details on the correct placement of the joystick guides in each test.

Sound output

The panel can output sound through the internal loudspeaker or through a headset (available as an accessory). The headset can be connected to the panel using the USB-A port. You can also use a USB headset by connecting it to a free USB port on the computer. Use the Windows sound output settings (in the task bar) to select the output device you want to use:
