EIB-36 Plating Adapter

The EIB-36 Plating Adapter is a breakout board for any HS-36 compatible EIB. It can be used during electrode plating to more easily measure impedance of electrodes connected to an EIB. This package also includes a stereotaxic device that mounts to our Tetrode Assembly Station, providing hands free stabilization during measurement.

EIB-36 Plating Cable

The EIB-36 Plating Cable is used for a direct connection to the EIB-36 family of interface boards. The other end of this cable has a MDR50 connecter which can be connected to the EIB-36 Switch Box. This setup will allow the user to move from channel to channel for plating or impedance checks without physically changing the connection.

EIB-36 Switch Box

L8 Input Test Cable

This is a testing cable that sends an identical signal to all channels of multiple Lynx-8 amplifiers. An input signal is connected via a female BNC, and that signal voltage is reduced by a factor of 1000 before reaching the amplifiers. This cable is very useful for diagnosing noise problems by eliminating headstages, tethers, and ERPs from the signal path. Please specify if you are using either four or eight amplifiers when ordering.

L8-BNC

Splits the analog output connection from the Lynx-8 amplifier into eight male BNC connectors. This 2m cable allows external equipment to receive amplified signals from the Lynx-8 amplifiers instead of having the signal sent to the recording PC. It can also be used in conjunction with the L8-FBNC to record signals that bypass the Lynx-8 amplifiers, or send signals intercepted by external equipment back to the PC.

L8-FBNC

This 2m cable allows recording of DC coupled external equipment by bypassing the Lynx-8 amplifiers and sending the signal directly to the recording PC. Eight female BNC connections are provided for external input. A female MDR-30 is connected to the JAMP connector from the recording PC instead of the analog output of the Lynx-8. It can also be used in conjunction with the L8-BNC to selectively insert external signals with signals from a Lynx-8 amplifier.

L8-Switch Box

The Amp Select Switchbox (L8-Switch Box) allows a Neuralynx customer to selectively monitor any of up to 48 signal channels using either a 4-input, 2-input or single input Oscilloscope. The switchbox has 6 ribbon cable inputs which each attach to the “Monitor” port of a Lynx-8 amplifier, and 4 BNC outputs which attach to the Oscilloscope.

MDR50 Breakout Board

This board is used to insert new signals or reroute signals coming from a headstage. It is intended for use with HS-36 headstages and provides access to all 36 signal and 4 stimulus lines. When the included jumpers are in place, the headstage signal is passed without any modification. Removing a jumper allows rerouting or elimination of a particular signal coming from the headstage or insertion of a signal from an external source. This package also includes Y jumpers that will allow signals to easily be duplicated to other channels or shared between breakout boards.
