18-4 System 3
FB128 Neural Simulator
The simulator can operate in eight different modes and includes an inhibitory/
excitatory option for even more output variations. The simulation modes are listed on
the face of the module and LEDs indicate which is active. Operational buttons or
switches, a TTL input, and a charger input are positioned on one end of the module
and output connectors for headstage connection are positioned on the other.
Hardware Set ‐ up
When using the FB128 to test your protocol or recording hardware, set-up the
recording part of your system as you would during your experiment with the FB128
in place of the subject and electrodes.
Four output connectors are positioned side-by-side at one end of the simulator. One
for each size of ZIF-Clip® headstages, including one connector for the ZC16 and
ZC32 and one each for the ZC64, ZC96, and ZC128.
Connect the headstage to the appropriate connector just as you would connect it to
an electrode or adapter. First, line up the square guide on the headstage with the
notch on the probe connector. Hold it firmly open at the wire end of the connector
until it is fully in position then clamp it firmly in place.
ZC32 and FB128
CAUTION! Failure to hold the clip open until it is fully in position can cause
damage to the headstage connectors.
Simulation Modes
The Mode button, is positioned on the end opposite the output connectors.
