POWER LED 

LED indicating that the ISO-STIM 01D is powered on.  
 

(2)

 

POWER ON/OFF switch 

Switch to turn POWER of the ISO-STIM 01D ON or OFF, respectively. 
 

(3)

 

DURATION (ms) digital potentiometer 

Potentiometer that sets the duration of the stimulus generated by the built-in timing unit. 
 

(4)

 

OPERATION MODE (BIPOLAR/UNIPOLAR) switch 

 

(5)

 

AMPLITUDE 10-turn potentiometer 

Potentiometer that sets the amplitude of the stimulus generated by the internal timing unit. The 
maximum range is selected with the OUTPUT rotary switch (

#15

). 

 

(6)

 

+/- POLARITY switch 

Switch for setting the polarity of the stimulus. 
 

(7)

 

OVER + LED 

LED indicating that the amplifier is 10% below its positive limit (limit is ±100 V in VOLTAGE 
OUTPUT MODE). In CURRENT OUTPUT MODE the limit (±100 V) is set by the 
corresponding voltage at the electrode due to Ohm’s Law [V = I*R]), i.e. this control indicates 
during an experiment in CURRENT OUTPUT MODE that the electrode resistance increases 
and the amplifier is not be able to provide the current which is set if the electrode resistance 
increases further. 
 

(8)

 

STIM LED 

LED indicating the application of a voltage or current stimulus. 
 

(9)

 

OVER – LED 

See (

#7

).

CAP. COMP trim pot 

The CAP.COMP. potentiometer compensates for the input capacitances in isolated CURRENT 
output operation only. Capacity compensation is achieved by turning the potentiometer with a 
small screw driver clockwise, until the current signal at the oscilloscope is as square as possible. 

Important

: If the CAP.COMP. is overcompensated in CURRENT MODE, the stimulus isolator 

will ring and not work properly!

CHASSIS connector 

Jack linked to the CHASSIS. The green banana connector of the optional cable (ISO-CAB) is 
connected here.
