The Power1401-3A is CED's latest high-performance data acquisition interface. It uses advanced processor technology to give you all the power and flexibility you need in a state-of-the-art laboratory interface.
The Power1401 records waveform data, digital (event) and marker information, and can generate waveform and digital outputs simultaneously for real-time, multi-tasking experiment control.
The Power1401 has a 1 GHz Marvell processor (essentially an ARM V5TE core) and up to 2GB of on-board memory, to facilitate high speed data capture, independent waveform sample rates and complex on-line analysis, freeing valuable time for the host computer to perform other tasks, such as data manipulation and further analysis.
Features:
16 channels of 16-bit waveform input on base unit
1 GB memory expandable to 2 GB
Dynamically programmable amplifier option
Software-selectable ±5 V or ±10 V input and output ranges
Synchronisation with other CED 1401s for large numbers of channels, all accurately timed
CED software packages, such as Spike2 and Signal, customise the system for use in a wide range of research applications, including:
Single and multi-unit spike processing
Dynamic clamping
ECG, EEG, EMG & EOG
Evoked response, TMS and rTMS
In vivo and in vitro studies
Gastro-intestinal studies
Cardiovascular studies
Tremor analysis
Sports physiology - and more
Dynamic clamping in action
Expandable for advanced applications
The modular design of the Power1401 enables users to upgrade their systems to benefit from new technology with expansion modules for specialist signal processing.
Power1401 expansion units
If you need more inputs and outputs than are provided on the front panel, there are expansion connectors on the rear panel, on Cannon connectors.
If these are not convenient, we offer break out boxes (2805 break-out box and 2805-16 BNC patch panel), which both plug into these connectors and provide BNC connectors, or a full 19" rack mount panel with BNCs, the 2805-16.
