5 Multi Channel Suite Software
With a MEA-SG it is easy to train users on the software Multi Channel Experimenter or MC_Rack, which
are specially made for MEA2100-, MEA- and Wireless-Systems.
Together with the MEA2100-System or an USB based data acquisition device and the software package
you have a complete setup for data acquisition, and MEA-SG generates the data for training instead
of an animal experiment. This possibility increases the flexibility of the unpracticed user. Please read the
software manuals for detailed information. The reasonable "Step by Step" Tutorial gives you an
impression how the software is generally working, and you can deal with prepared racks.
If you do not wish to read the complex manuals, MEA-SG gives you the chance of "Learning by Doing".
Because of your "mechanical animal", you can learn the software features until you feel comfortable.
The Multi Channel Suite software package is flexible and intuitive to use and supports all MEA2100-
Systems, the USB-ME data acquisitions, and Wireless-Systems.
It consists of three tools:
Multi Channel Experimenter for data acquisition and online analysis
Multi Channel Analyzer for offline analysis
Multi Channel DataManager for data export to third party programs
Multi Channel Experimenter Software
Use the Multi Channel Experimenter for data acquisition. Insert a MEA Signal Generator to get familiar
with the system and the software.
Please read the manual "Multi Channel Experimenter" for detailed information!
Building a Rack
It is very easy to build a rack: Please click onto the button of the desired instrument and move it via drag
and drop from the left to the right side of the main window!
It is also easy to connect the instruments: Please click onto one of the symbols on the lower part of an
instrument button to connect this output port via drag and drop with the input port (symbol on the upper
side) of the target instrument.
