When you purchase a Digital Lynx System from Neuralynx, this is what you get:

  • The highest channel count at 128 on the 4SX (512 on the 16SX).
  • The lowest noise of 1.3µV or less.
  • The highest resolution due to the 24 bit A/D converters.
  • The widest dynamic input range at ± 132 mV.
  • The most flexible referencing options with 8 references per 32 channel bank and 8 global references.
  • The most advanced Digital High Density Electrophysiology Data Recording System in the industry.

The Neuralynx Digital Reference Selection board is a software controlled analog solid state switch array for reference selection and individual channel reference assignment. The DRS-36 allows 8 of the 36 input channels from each headstage (HS-36) to be selected for use as the reference input for each channel of each Input Board. References may also be shared between multiple DRS-36 boards for up to 8 Global References per system.
