4.1 The Cardio2D Program : Overview
Main Window: Overview
The main window of Cardio2D consists of two in case of several connected MEAs of three window
panes. The left "Control Window" is for controlling and documentation of the experiment.
The bigger window on the right side, the "MEA Window" displays heartbeats in different
characteristics in real-time monitoring. The "Summary" window is only available, if more than
one MEA is connected.
You have one single "Control Window" only, but depending on the connected hardware you can
have up to nine different MEA tabbed pages in the "MEA Window" which correspond with the
"Summary" window respectively. If you connect, for example, an USB-MEA256-System for data
acquisition, you can use it together with a 256-9wellMEA and each of the nine wells is displayed
and controlled separate in nine MEA window tabs, MEA A to MEA I.
If you connect, for example, an USB-ME256-System for data acquisition, it is possible to connect up
to four MEAs, MEA_1 to MEA_4. Each MEA window tab will display the heartbeats with different
settings in the four views of the "MEA Tabbed Pages" in the "MEA Window" independent from
each other. Via the "Control Window" you start and stop the experimental protocol
simultaneously.
