Multichannel Systems MEA2100-System - Manual (Page 5)

60MEA-SG 120MEA-SG
The 60- or 120MEA Signal Generator is used for setting up an experiment with sample data for training,
controlling, and troubleshooting purposes.
Please insert the signal generator (orientation: you can read the “ON” and “1 2” on the switch) and test
your system with this artificial data and make yourself comfortable with the software settings before starting
an experiment with biological samples.
You can find the instructions for the signal generators in its bag, on the provided CD (Manuals/MEA_Signal_
Generator_Manual.pdf) or online at www.multichannelsystems.com/downloads/documentation.
When working with biological samples, please insert the MEAs in correct orientation.
Important: MEAs are not symmetrical! Standard MEAs with one big internal reference electrode should be
placed with the reference electrode to the left side in the headstage (please see the picture). Otherwise, the
MEA layout will not match with the pin layout of the channel map in the data acquisition programs from
MCS. For the orientation of special MEAs, for example 60-6wellMEAs, please read the respective datasheet.
You can find instructions for the handling of the MEAs on the provided CD (Manuals/MEA_Manual.pdf)
or online. Datasheets for each MEA type are available online at www.multichannelsystems.com/products/
microelectrode-arrays.
