Hardware Systems Overview

One of the purposes of __prod_name is to allow you to easily control Neuralynx hardware. Each Neuralynx acquisition system will come with multiple pieces of hardware that need to be setup to work with each other properly. This guide will not attempt to explain everything about your hardware; just how your hardware is controlled and viewed in __prod_name. For setup instructions, or questions about the capabilities of your hardware, see the manual for your specific hardware setup.

Neuralynx hardware systems are designed to take physical electrical signals from the outside world, be it neurons or from a signal generator; digitize those signals and save them to a file on your computer for later analysis.

The newer Neuralynx systems use digital signal processing (DSP) to do the filtering and amplification of electrical signals. These systems will immediately digitize the analog signal and send the digitized signal to the computer for processing. All of the filtering and amplification is done by __prod_name. Since the original, unprocessed signal is sent to the computer, this allows the flexibility to process the same signal using many different amplification, high and low cut filter combinations, as well as allowing an AD channel to be used by multiple acquisition entities.
