Data Acquisition with the MEA2100-Systems
The MEA2100 recording system is an all-in one solution consisting of headstage and interface
board. The MEA2100-System with integrated amplification, data acquisition, online signal
processing, and integrated stimulus generator. You can connect one or two headstages to the
interface board. The MEA2100-System uses an USB 2.0 connector per headstage to transfer
digitized data to any computer. Please read the MEA2100-System manual for detailed
information.
Data Acquisition with the USB-ME-Systems
The external data acquisition board USB-ME256-System is a stand-alone solution for acquiring
data from up to 256 channels from up to four MEAs. It can replace the internal computer
hardware MC_Card. The analog input signals are acquired and digitized by the USB-ME256-System
and the digital electrode signals are transmitted to the connected computer via universal serial
bus (High Speed USB 2.0). Thus, it is possible to use any computer for data processing. Recorded
data is graphed, analyzed, and reviewed with Cardio2D and Cardio2D+ program. The USB-ME256-
System supports 256 channels with an amplification factor 1, that means no amplification, data
acquisition only. You can connect, for example, up to four MEA1060 amplifiers via 68-pin MCS
high grade cables.
