along with the receiving antennas. Each component is described in more detail below. All the
components included with the system are:
(1) CerePlex W (PN: 9583)
(1) Wireless Receiver (PN: 9660)
(8) Antennas
(8) SMA antenna cables
(8) SMA to N adaptors
(1) 12 V AC-DC power supply
(1) Micro-USB to USB A cable
(1) 5-wire micro-USB to micro-USB cable
(1) Magnetic wand
CerePlex W Headstage
Basic Functions
The CerePlex W headstage combines a fully digital neural recording amplifier
with a radio-frequency transmitter. The amplifier is built on the same platform as
other Blackrock CerePlex recording headstages and offers the same low-noise
performance. The digital data stream from the amplifier system is encoded and
transmitted to the receiving antennas by an on-board radio and antenna. The
battery and connection indicator LEDs, as well as the impedance mode switch
and micro USB port are shown in
