Millar MPVS Duo: Hardware Set Up Demonstration

In this demonstration video Mark de Reus, Head of Training and Support at ADInstruments, shows you how to set up the MPVS Duo Hardware.

Step 1: LabChart Preparation

Step 2: Connecting the PowerLab C

Connect the C Series PowerLab and Instrument Interface to the PC. For more information on how to do this, watch the PowerLab C set up video.

Step 3a: Connecting Channels for Admittance Mode

Using the BNC cables, connect the following outputs from the MPVS Duo to the following inputs on the Instrument Interface:
- Pressure to Input 1
- Volume to Input 2
- Phase to Input 3
- Magnitude to Input 4
Connect your catheter to the MPVS Duo by inserting one side of the micro HDMI cable into the ‘catheter’ input on the MPVS Duo and the other into the catheter.
Plug the power supply into the MPVS Duo and then into the wall outlet.
Remember: Soak your catheter for at least half an hour before use.

Step 3b: Connecting Channels for Conductance Mode

Using the BNC cables, connect the following outputs from the MPVS Duo to the following inputs on the Instrument Interface:
- Pressure to Input 1
- Magnitude to Input 2
- Phase to Input 3
Connect your catheter to the MPVS Duo by inserting one side of the micro HDMI cable into the ‘catheter’ input on the MPVS Duo and the other into the catheter.
Plug the power supply into the MPVS Duo and then into the wall outlet.
Remember: Soak your catheter for at least half an hour before use.

Step 4: Recording Data

The system is now ready to record PV data. Please see our other videos for more information on setting up the MPVS Duo and LabChart for recording.
