DESCRIPTION
System introduction, Version 11
Spike2 is a multi-channel continuous data acquisition and analysis package. Uses range from a simple chart recorder to complex applications requiring stimulus generation, data capture, scrolling or triggered displays, control of external equipment and custom analysis. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications for specific analysis tasks.
- Spike2 is ideal for applications in many fields including electrophysiology, neurophysiology, sports science, pharmacology, and many more.
- Spike2 provides power and flexibility for demanding applications, such as extracellular multi-electrode recording and complex stimulus timing.
- Spike2 features a built-in script language to customise the program and provide control from simple automation to addition of complex analyses.
- Spike2 imports data recorded by many other systems; you can take advantage of this extremely versatile software to analyse existing data.
- Spike2 can export data to spreadsheet, text, binary and MATLAB® files.
- Spike2 is continually updated; the latest version adds new features for free throughout the version’s life cycle.
The powerful data capture and analysis functions, together with one of the CED1401 family of laboratory interfaces, make Spike2 an extremely flexible, cost-effective and time-saving addition to any laboratory.
Features
- Navigate through your data quickly and simply using the intuitive user interface; zoom and scroll with the mouse or keyboard.
- Record multiple data types, including waveforms, event times, coded markers, and discriminated single and multi-unit spike data.
- Generate simple and complex protocols of waveform and pulse outputs.
- Acquire data from third-party devices using CED Talker software modules. Data can be sampled with or without a 1401 interface.
- Detect data features automatically or manually and take measurements based on triggered and cyclical data with ‘active’ cursors.
- Analyse multiple channels of waveform and event data on-line and off-line.
- Process data with functions including filtering, rectification, interpolation, spectral analysis and inter-channel arithmetic.
- Display and export images as you want them, with versatile display options including: triggered update with optional overdraw and 3D display, and duplicated windows with independent display settings.
- Record larger numbers of channels by synchronising multiple CED 1401s.
- Replay data files, with simultaneous output of waveform data through 1401 analogue outputs (DACs) or computer sound card.
System requirements
For sampling, Signal version 8 requires a CED Micro 1401 or Power 1401 intelligent laboratory interface and a PC with Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11, or Intel Macintosh running Windows, and supports 64-bit versions of Windows. The computer must be modern enough to support the SSE2 instruction set. We recommend a minimum of 8GB of RAM. Signal dynamic clamping requires a CED Power1401-3, Power1401 mk II or Micro-4 intelligent laboratory interface.
Both 64-bit and 32-bit OS versions are supplied; either version can be used on systems running a 64-bit OS. When installed on a 64-bit system the 64-bit version provides a performance increase and access to more memory.
