Signal version 8 more details, download

Signal can be thought of as an intelligent storage oscilloscope, gathering data in sweeps at high speed for analysis. Applications range from field potentials to auditory and visual studies, ERG, patch and voltage clamping, TMS, rTMS, EMG, force platforms and vibration monitoring.

Signal provides fast, sweep-based data capture and analysis with up to 48 channels and aggregate sampling rates up to 3 MHz using the latest Power1401-3, or 500 kHz with the Micro3. You can sample a very large number of data points in each sweep; at least 15 million with a Power1401, depending on Windows memory. Free running, post and peri-triggered sweep modes are available with automatic pulse output generation and sequencing. Pulse, sine and arbitrary waveform output can be generated and displayed while sampling.

Incoming data can be displayed, measured, reviewed and compared with previously recorded data. Built-in analyses include single-channel analysis, patch clamp, waveform averaging, spectral analysis, measurement generation, sum area and gradient, generation of data by applying your own equations to existing channels, and digital filtering.

The built-in script language allows complicated or repetitive tasks to be automated as well as customising the system for specialist applications. Signal version 8 requires Windows 7 or later. See the compatibility table.
