title: A microprocessor-controlled stimulator for generating voltage clamp command sequences.
abstract: A device for generating programmed sequences of voltage pulses is described. Initial pulse parameters are entered from a key pad. Parameters can be varied in systematic fashion to generate a range of test pulse sequences automatically. An application for a two-microelectrode voltage clamp is used to illustrate the capabilities.
