Analog Cable
There are 4 variants of the analog cable assembly.
• MLAC871
1 Channel Analog Cable
• MLAC872
2 Channel Analog Cable
• MLAC874
4 Channel Analog Cable
• MLAC878
8 Channel Analog Cable
When using a multi channel analog cable the connection order does not matter except
when using a device with a stimulator output. Please see the compatibility matrix
(Figure 5-11) at the end of the chapter for details.
Connecting a Front-End to the Front End Interface
A Front-End can be connected to the Front End Interface in the following ways:
1.
Screwed directly using the guide screws: In this case, the I2C port on the front of
the Front End Interface can be inserted into the corresponding port on the rear
panel of the Front End. Once inserted, the guide screws on the Interface can be
twisted clockwise to to engage with the threads on the nuts of the serial port on
the Front- End.
2.
Using a DB9M- DB9F cable: In this case, the MLAC02 DB9M - DB9F cable can be
used to connect the Front End to the Interface directly. This maybe required in
the case of some older Front-Ends like the ML138 Octal Bio Amp.

connection
NOTE:
The Front End
Interface does not
support daisy
chaining Front Ends.
The ‘I2C Output’
port on a Front End
should NOT be used
in conjunction with
the Front End
Interface.
