Stimulus output

Stimulus sequencing

Pulse outputs can be defined as separate sections in the output sequencer, allowing the user to define many different pulse protocols. The sequencing of outputs can be controlled manually or automated using the control commands available from the sequencer or script language.

• Manually control sequencing with the press of a key
• Automate stimulus sequencing by using control commands including branches and loops
• Respond to changes in waveform or event data
• Implement random delays and branches with set probabilities

Waveform output

In addition to generating voltage pulses, ramps and cosine waves through the DACs, Spike2 can also play arbitrary waveforms.

• Play waveforms from up to 4 outputs
• Start and stop playing waveforms from a toolbar button, keyboard press or in response to external triggers
• Cycle waveform output and link multiple waveform sections
