3.2.3 Advanced Configuration
Important: This feature can only be used when working with the USB based data acquisition
systems USB-ME256 and USB-ME128. If you use a MC_Card or an USB-ME-16/32-FAI, please do
not change the default setting of "Max. Number of MC_Rack Instances = 1".
On the Edit menu, click Advanced Configuration to select the maximum number of instances of
MC_Rack that can run simultaneously. These instances operate independently from each other.
This feature is meant to be used with the new USB based data acquisition systems USB-ME256
and USB-ME128. When two or four amplifiers are connected to the data acquisition, it is possible
to operate each amplifier independently with one instance of MC_Rack. It is also possible to
operate 128 or 256 channels with one instance of MC_Rack, for example, when working with an
USB-MEA256 amplifier and a MEA with 256 electrodes. See Data Source Setup for details on the
configuration. Up to four instances of MC_Rack can be started in parallel.
If the option "Stop on Data Loss" is selected, the MC_Rack program stops recording
if it encounters problems during recording of a file. An error message will be displayed
in the status bar.
