NSP Back Panel
The back panel of the NSP includes the following ports and connectors:
10.
Line Noise Cancellation Port:
On NSP 1.5 and higher versions, the adaptive line noise cancellation port is separated
from the
NSP’s
main power input connector. To use the adaptive line noise cancellation,
plug a standard power cable into this port and enable the feature in software as
described in the Central Software Suite User Manual which is available for download
from the
Blackrock Microsystems website
.
11.
Synchronization Port:
This DB9 port is located on the back of the NSP and it is used to synchronize two or
more NSPs. Once the sync cable (Blackrock PN 5584) is properly connected between
NSPs, they will automatically synchronize. Some older NSP models may not have this
port. To add synchronization capability to your NSP, please contact Blackrock
Microsystems at
12.
Fiber Optic Link:
This port connects to the Front End Amplifier or the Digital Hub using a fiber optic cable.
A LED to the right of the connector turns green when an optical link is established and,
in the newest model of the Neural Signal Processor (NSP 2.0 and above) turns yellow
when the link is broken. Older models of the device have a red LED when the link is
broken. The Fiber Optic connector is located on the front side in NSP models 1.5 and
1.0. The NSP 2.0 is equipped with an additional fiber optic input connector which
enables the NSP 2.0 to communicate with more than one Front End Amplifier or Digital
Hub.
