To start an acquisition and visualizing data read out from the BioChip:
1. Click Play under the Commands panel to start the acquisition. The MEA Viewer starts refreshing and
displaying data.

selected channel a new chart is plotted on the right showing the voltage data being read out from
that channel.
3. Use the Chart panel to adjust channels’ charts. Two controls are available on the Chart panel for
both the time (X) and amplitude (Y) axis scale values of the charts. The time control regulates the
time window used by the charts. By selecting a given time window width (e.g., 500ms) the charts are
refreshed by periods of the same time duration. The amplitude control allows to select the Minimum
and Maximum values visible on the charts in the Y axis.
To stop the acquisition simply click on the Stop button under the Commands panel.
