title: The Multi Unit Activity analyzer: a Windows based hardware-software system for low cost, high speed analog to digital data conversion, data acquisition and window discrimination.
abstract: The Multi Unit Activity analyzer is a hardware-software package for multi-purpose, two-channel data acquisition, with a computer dependent maximal digitizing frequency selectable from 1 to 27,000 s(-1) on both channels simultaneously. The hardware is connected to an IBM compatible PC through one of the serial ports (standard RS 232 interface). Software was developed to view digitized signals and record or read them on or from the harddisk. The program can also perform amplitude based window discrimination on the raw signal, on-line or during replay. The system is used for recording and analyzing multi unit activity from neuronal tissue in our electrophysiology lab but it can be applied in a variety of other settings. Basic programming routines are available that allow customized data acquisition.
