Welcome to the Wireless Recording System
The innovative wireless recording in vivo system is the all-in one solution for amplifying,
recording, and analyzing in vivo data from four, eight, sixteen or thirty-two channels.
The bandwidth of the amplifier is 1 Hz to 5 kHz. The sampling rate is software controlled
and user defined. With a resolution of 16 bit the accuracy of your data is guaranteed.
The sampling rate is up to 40 kHz when using two electrode channels of the W4-System or four
electrode channels of the W8-System and up to 20 kHz when recording on all channels of the W4-
or W8-System. For the W16-System the sampling rate is 10 kHz when recording on all 16 channels
or up to 20 kHz when recording on 4 or 8 channels. Respectively, the sampling rate for the W32-
System is 5 kHz when using all 32 channels and up to 10 kHz when using 16, 8 or 4 channels only.
The system includes everything you need: Small sized headstage with integrated A/D converter,
digitized transmission and a powerful receiver. For controlling the easy to use software package
MC_Rack is available. With its excellent signal-to-noise ratio, the W4-, W8-, W16- or W32-
Systems are the ideal solution for spikes, LFP, EEC, ECG, and ECoG. Additional inputs to the
receiver allow the synchronization of the data with external devices.
The headstages of the systems are extremely small and lightweight and. allow the recording of
neuronal activity in freely moving animals. A/D conversion at up to 20 kHz sampling rate in the
headstages decrease the bandwidth for data transmission. Thus, it enables a long transmission
range and low power consumption at the same time. This makes flexible long time experiments
in large environments possible.
With one system it is possible to use up to four headstages in parallel for measuring several
animals one by one. With several complete systems you can record from several animals at
the same time. Even so the wireless systems can be adapted to different electrode connectors.
