Models & Performance

  • Execute up to 15 models to generate outputs on up to 8 DACs; multiple models driving one DAC are automatically summed
  • Fast update rates: over 300 kHz with one Hodgkin/Huxley model and 270 kHz with two models (see table below)
  • Detection of overload in hardware gives confidence in your results
  • Ergonomic dialogs make it easy to view and edit the model parameters
  • Modify model parameters and apply your changes while sampling
  • Switch automatically between multiple parameter states during sampling
  • Pulse and waveform outputs defined by the user can be summed into the outputs generated by dynamic clamping
  • Output sequencer can enable and disable individual models dynamically during a single sampling sweep

During testing we have found that, with older amplifier designs, current clamp performance is not good enough for effective dynamic clamping.

So far the following amplifiers have been tested at CED and seen to work correctly with Signal dynamic clamping:

  • Molecular Devices Multiclamp 700A and 700B
  • NPI BA-03X
  • A-M Systems 2400
  • HEKA EPC 800

Other amplifiers will be tested and added to this list in due course.

However, many other amplifiers, including the BA-01X, BA-01M, ELC-01X, ELC01M, ELC03XS, SEC03M, SEC05X and SEC01X from NPI Electronics, are known to work well with current clamping and are therefore suitable for dynamic clamping, but of course this is not to say that other amplifiers are unsuitable. ×
