3.3.1 Stimulus Generator STG
Two series of stimulus generators are available from Multi Channel Systems: STG stimulus
generators of the 2000 and 4000 series. They are general purpose stimulators designed to serve
a very wide variety of applications. A stimulus generator is one of the requirements for using the
software, because the LTP-Director displays triggered sweeps of 100 ms length. To work with the
LTP-Director software, it is necessary to have a software controlled stimulus generator from MCS
with USB connection. You can use the STG 2000 or the STG 4000 series. Please see chapter
"Setting up an USB-ME256-System with multiple instances of LTP-Director".
Currently, the LTP-Director can control only voltage pulses. Please connect the MEA amplifier
to the +V or -V outputs of the STG (2000 series) for voltage stimuli. A stimulus generator of the
4000 series uses the same outputs for voltage and current.
The image schematically depicts the connectors of the STG. The shown nomenclature will be used
later in the text.
