MEA Signal Generator:
The 60-, 120- or 256MEA Signal Generator is used for setting up an experiment with
sample data for training, controlling, and troubleshooting purposes. Please insert the signal generator (orientation:
you can read the “ON” and “1 2” on the switch) and test your system with this artificial data and make yourself
comfortable with the software settings before starting an experiment with biological samples.
You can find the instructions for the signal generators in its bag, on the provided USB stick (Manuals/MEA_Signal_
Generator_Manual.pdf) or online at www.multichannelsystems.com/downloads/documentation.
When working with biological samples, please insert the MEAs in correct orientation.
Important:
MEAs are not symmetrical! Standard MEAs with one big internal reference
electrode should be placed with the reference electrode to the left side in the headstage.
Otherwise, the MEA layout will not match with the pin layout of the channel map in the
data acquisition programs from MCS. For the orientation of special MEAs, please read
the respective datasheet. You can find instructions for the handling of the MEAs on the
provided USB stick (Manuals/MEA_Manual.pdf) or online. Datasheets for each MEA type
are available online at www.multichannelsystems.com/products/microelectrode-arrays.
