Innovations in Electrophysiology

Preview Release of Multi Channel Suite Software

Advantages of the Multi Channel Suite over MC_Rack

Experimenter

  • Every connected hardware is visible in the panel and switching is quick and easy
  • Experimental set-up is more flexible and more intuitive than with MC_Rack
  • A docking/tab-window concept facilitates a more flexible layout of the single instruments
  • Recording can be switched on and off independent of the data acquisition
  • MEA2100-System: 24bit resolution of the hardware is finally supported
  • MEA2100-System: Stimulation patterns can be designed from within the same software
  • MEA2100-System: Multiwell-MEAs are supported more intuitively

 

Analyzer

  • Arbitrary navigation through raw data is possible
  • New mode “Explore” for interactive setting of analysis parameters

 

DataManager

  • Exports files to HDF5 format for easy import in Matlab or Python

 

Please note that although we have tested the software, it is still no official release. Multi Channel Systems can not be held responsible if the software crashes or your experiment fails.

Instruments

We want to point out that this is a very first version, so the number of instruments is still very limited.

Experimenter

  • Continuous recording
  • Stimulator
  • Filter
  • Digital Event Detector
  • Spike Detector
  • Sweeps (shows the signals for a specified time frame around an event)

 

Analyzer

  • Show recorded data and filter them
  • No file can be saved

 

DataManager

  • Convert Experimenter files to HDF5 files for analysis in e.g. Matlab or Python
