3.3.2 Data Acquisition: MC_Card
The MC_Card is the data acquisition card of MEA- and ME-Systems from Multi Channel Systems
MCS GmbH. Please see also the separate documentation of the systems and its components for
more information about the setup and operation.
While working with LTP-Director and a MEA1060-BC amplifier and a STG, you need a BNC
connection between the Sync OUT 1 of the STG and Digital In Bit 0 of the MC_Card:
The LTP-Director software uses the STG to deliver a TTL-Pulse from Sync OUT 1 to the MC_Card,
that starts recording 10 ms prior to the actual stimulus. A second TTL-Pulse must be delivered
from Sync OUT 2 of the STG simultaneously to the stimulus, to trigger the blanking and to switch
the stimulation electrodes. Hence, the Sync OUT 2 of the STG must be connected to the
BNC input of the BC amplifier.
Warning: While using a MC_Card, either with 64 or 128 channels, you can use only a single
instance of LTP-Director.
