Hardware Installation

Read the entire Hardware Installation section before proceeding with any of the steps.

An oscilloscope is highly recommended for viewing the output of the monitor channels.

4.3.1

Ensure that the power switch on the power supply is in the off position.

4.3.2

Connect the AC power cord between the AC outlet and the power supply.

4.3.3

Connect the DC power cord between the power supply and the stimulator.
You may connect to either OUT 1 or OUT2 on the power supply.

4.3.4

Connect the USB cable between the stimulator and the computer.

4.3.5

IMPORTANT:

Turn on the stimulator power and launch the stimulator GUI before

connecting the stimulator to any electrodes.
