3.2 Acquisition Console
The heart of the
Electrophysiology console
is the acquisition console, an FPGA based data acquisition unit which syn-
chronizes the output control and the input data of the acquisition. The interface provides different functionalities for
multi-channel experiments. It enables control over the excitation light pulses, or the sinusoidal waveform trig of an ex-
ternal source (i.e. Doric LED driver) with 4 TTL and 4 analog voltage outputs. The module interface displays real-time
recordings of up to 4 input signals and performs basic signal processing. The system is controlled using 3
Control and

tabs. Separate channel windows are used to define output/input specifications.
