4. Using the NIBP250 with a BIOPAC MP Acquisition System 

4.1. Connections 

1.  Connect the CBL150-PRE cable* 

a.  BNC to the pressure output on the back panel of the NIBP250. 
b.  Other end to A1 on the front of the UIM100C unit 

2.  Connect the CBL150-PLS cable* 

a.  BNC to the pulse output on the back panel of the NIBP250. 
b.  Other end to A2 on the front of the UIM100C unit. 

3.  Connect the IRSENSOR 

a.  Black cord to the sensor input on the back panel of the NIBP250. 
b.  Tubing in the cuff  on the front panel of the NIBP250. 

4.  Connect the power 

a.  AC300 adapter to the 12V DC input on the back panel of the NIBP250. 
b.  AC300 to Mains power. 

5.  Switch the NIBP250 POWER on. 

*CBL150-PRE and CBL150-PLS cables are used with BIOPAC MP150 Data Acquisition Unit with Acq

Knowledge 

software only. For use with BIOPAC MP36/35 Data Acquisition Unit with BSL 

PRO

 software, use the CBL35-PRE 

for Step 1 and CBL35-PLS for Step 2. 

NOTE: 

BIOPAC recommends connecting the CBL150-PRE cable to the first channel (A1) so that the pressure 

wave is automatically displayed above the pulse waveform. 

4.2. Software Setup in Acq

Knowledge 

1. Laun ch Acq

Knowledge

 

2.  Select the “Create/Record a new experiment” option. 
3.  Select MP150 > Set Up Channels > “Add New Module...” 

a.  From the new module list, select UIM100C-A1 (or whichever channel CBL150-PRE pressure 

cable is connected to) and click “Add.” 

b.  From the UIM100C Transducer list, select “NIBP250 – Small Animal Tail BP, Pressure” and click 

OK. 

c. Click  “Calibrate” in the resulting NIBP250 Calibration dialog. 

 

4.  Repeat  “Add New Module…” portion of Step 3. 

a.  From the new module list, select UIM100C-A2 (or whichever channel CBL150-PLS pulse cable is 

connected to) and click “Add.” 

b.  From the UIM100C Transducer list, select “NIBP250 – Small Animal Tail BP, Pulse” and click OK.
