Description
DESCRIPTION
The Cambridge Electronic Design (CED) Power1401-3A is their 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.
Fast data acquisition and analysis
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.
Compatible with CED software packages, such as Spike2 and Signal, you can 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
