Software: MC_Rack
Combined with the MC_Card hardware, MC_Rack forms a complete
system for reliable acquisition and analysis of electrophysiological
data. Recording, graphing, and analyzing in real time extracellular
activities of excitable cells, for in vitro and in vivo preparations
- all achieved with one powerful yet easy-to-use solution.
Features include a virtual oscilloscope, a filter, an event detector, a spike sorter, automatic feedback, sound, and various analysis tools. You set up a virtual instrument rack, which is convenient and saves space on your workbench.
- Easy to use and flexible data acquisition and analysis software package
- Unlimited, highly qualified, and friendly support
- Free software updates
Virtual Rack:
The main power of MC_Rack is its great flexibility. You can combine various virtual instruments according to your experimental setup. It is up to you, which data streams are displayed on the screen, which are saved, which are analyzed, and so on.
- Saves disk space and computer performance
- Easy handling of up to 128 channels with up to 50 kHz sampling rate
- Various online and offline analysis tools
- Export filters for external standard programs
Operating system: Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP; English and German versions supported.
Data Analysis:
Various parameters can be extracted in online or offline analysis from the data streams of your choice. Results are graphed, saved, and can be exported to other programs for further analysis.
For example, you can easily analyze spike rates, field potential amplitudes, areas, minima, and maxima. You choose between several graph types, for example overlay, raster, or false color plots.
You can also average sweeps to reduce the noise level and to enhance your signals, for example, to detect field potentials or for evoked potential analysis. Noise usually stems from arbitrary signals, where "real" signals should follow a pattern, that is, the signal event is linked to a stimulus or a trigger signal. Therefore, averaged noise signals cancel each other out and response signals become visible.
