Welcome to the USB-ME-System
The USB-ME-System is a stand-alone solution for acquiring data from up to 256 channels.
It can replace the internal computer hardware MC_Card. The analog input signals are acquired
and digitized by the USB-ME-System and the digital electrode signals are transmitted to
the connected computer via universal serial bus (High Speed USB 2.0). Thus, it is possible to
use any computer for data processing. Recorded data are graphed, analyzed, and reviewed
with the powerful and easy-to-use MC_Rack program. You can export the data in standard
formats to other programs with the software MC_DataTool.
The USB-ME-System supports up to 256 channels with an amplification factor 1 that means
no amplification, data acquisition only.
It is a high flexible system: You can connect, for example, four MEA60-Systems via MCS high
grade cables or two MEA120-Systems or ME-Systems in different configurations or whatever
comes with 68-pin MCS standard connectors. Please see "Microelectrode Array Systems" and
"Microelectrode Array USB-Systems" for more information. You can stack several USB-ME-
Systems but you need a separate data proceeding computer with MC_Rack for each system.
