1, 3:
connectors for the headstage, 1: electrode resistance: 50 M
Ω
, 3: electrode resistance:
10 M
Ω
2:
GND ground connector, to be connected to GND jack of the headstage
4:
CELL: switch for cell membrane representing a membrane of either 50 M
Ω
and 22 pF
(CELL 1) or 200 M
Ω
and 100 pF (CELL 2).
5:
In GROUND (lower) position the electrodes are connected to ground via a 1 k
Ω
resistor. In SEAL (upper) position are connected to a 1 G
Ω
resistor simulating the
formation of a GIGASEAL with a patch electrode.
