NEW: Adapters for Interfacing DSI Telemetry Transmitters with PowerLab

Researchers can now acquire and analyze small animal signals recorded by DSI telemetry equipment with PowerLab data acquisition and analysis systems. The new adapters convert small animal digital telemetry signals from DSI transmitters to AC coupled analog voltage signals. The adapters interface the analog signal with PowerLab systems through a BNC connection.
Using the adapters, data can be collected simultaneously as:
- a digital signal by the DSI Data Exhange Matrix unit with Dataquest ART software
- an AC Coupled Analog Voltage signal by PowerLab data acquisition systems with LabChart (or Chart) software
 Above: Example equipment set-up for acquiring an ECG signal to both a Data Exchange Matrix and PowerLab system.
Each adapter must be interfaced with a DSI new generation receiver – either an RPC-1 (plastic cage receiver) or RMC-1 (metal cage receiver).
The following signals can now be interfaced with PowerLab systems:
