5 The Portable ME-System
5.1 The Portable ME16-System
The Portable ME16-System with integrated 16-channel filter amplifier and integrated data acquisition
with A / D converter includes two 8-channel miniature preamplifiers (MPA8I) or one 16-channel micro
preamplifier (μPA16). The MPA8Is or the μPAs are connected to the microelectrode probes to provide
the initial tenfold amplification stage. You can contact standard microelectrodes such as probes from
NeuroNexus directly without the need of any adapter in many cases. Adapters are available as accessories.
Custom adapters are available on demand.
Data is recorded, graphed, analyzed, and reviewed with the powerful and easy-to-use MC_Rack program.
You can export the data in standard formats to other programs with MC_DataTool software.
The Portable ME16-System can be used either with two MPA8Is - or - with one μPA16. The device
is preconfigured by Multi Channel Systems and cannot be modified by the user. If you like to change
the preconfiguration, please contact MCS:
