Sampling

Rate

and

Onboard

Filters

The sampling rate of each logical amplifier is adjustable (max 50 kHz, min 750

Hz) and should be set to a value appropriate for the signal of interest. Reducing

the sampling rate when acquiring low-frequency analog signals yields higher bit

resolution and improved signal-to-noise. Use the Amp Type presets as a guide for

determining what sampling rate to use for each logical amplifier.
The onboard down-sampling filters are used to further reduce the noise from

frequencies above the band of interest and can be set to a percentage of the

sampling rate (max 45%, min 10%). Adjusting the sampling rate and filter for each

logical amplifier to match your desired signal gives you the best possible signal

fidelity.

Sampling

Rate

and

Digital

Input

Channels

When a logical amplifier contains digital inputs, the sampling rate should be set to a

value appropriate for the connected Intan amplifier board. Sampling rates at or above

50 kHz reduce the number of channels available on the amplifier boards.
At 50 kHz the 32 channel amplifier board is limited to 20 channels and the 64 and

128 channel boards are limited to 40 channels, at the time of this writing. The

maximum aggregate number of channels is 256 channels at up to 25kHz, or 128

channels at up to 50kHz.
It is also important to note that, while the Intan board channel numbers are normally

sequential and offset by the number of analog inputs in the amplifier, sampling at or

above 50 kHz may also affect channel numbering.
At 50 kHz the native channel numbers per board are 1-20 and 33-52. These

channel numbers are then offset by the number of channels existing in the lower

banks of the PZ5. Also see “Input Connectors” on page 6-27.

PZ5

Software

Control

The PZ5_Control macro provides configuration and control of data acquisition and

storage via the RCX control circuit running on the RZ base station. The PZ5_Control

macro sets the default logical amplifier configurations when the circuit first runs and

retrieves waveforms/impedance values in real-time from each logical amplifier for

further processing.

The macro configuration options are

available in the macro properties dialog

and can be accessed by double-clicking

the macro in the RPvdsEx circuit diagram.
The macro outputs a multi-channel signal

stream of the acquired signals for each

logical amplifier. If the reference mode is

Differential, then the 1st channel is Ch1

minus Ch2 and the second channel is
