Software Settings when Using different Types of Headstages with one Wireless-System
May be you will use your wireless system in different experimental setups, that is for example, first
with an eight channel headstage and then with a four channel headstage. In this case you have to
adapt the wireless system to the variable hardware requirements via MC_Rack software. MC_Rack
needs specified driver units for each hardware component, which must be loaded when changing
the type of the headstage.
The following example describes how to change a W8-System to a W4-System. The W8-System
is already connected to the data acquisition computer and installed.
Open a new empty MC_Rack file and select “Data Source Setup”. The system with eight channels
will be found and displayed.
Click the button “Change Wireless Device”.
Select the W4-System from the drop down menu “Wireless Device Type” and confirm with “OK”.
