Procedure

 

1. Click power button    to Connect to the device. The button indicates device on status.

 

2. Set the input stimuli by varying the frequency and amplitude. For this slowly  vary  the  amplitude    and frequency   slider.

 

3. After setting the input parameters apply the signal by clicking   the button. 

 

4.  View the input and output on the input panel  and output

 graph.

 

5. You can verify the circuit response  through the live video window  by checking  whether the RED light is blinking or not.

 

6.  Vary the input stimuli to see the effects of different stimuli inputs. Use    button to pause the signal.

 

7.   Click to    reset the whole experiment.

8.  To maximise & minimise each panels click

 

9.  The PCB & circuit diagram can be viewed from the panel  . To switch between circuit diagrams & PCB use button .

 

10.   To export the result of RT experiment ,select the signals & the format   to be exported . It will display save as window .

For example start the experiments by connecting the device. Set the input stimuli with A=3Vpp and F=20Hz. Apply the input excitation to the integrate and fire neuron circuit by clicking start button. Maximize the live video window to verify whether device is running or not. The applied input stimuli and generated output  can be viewed in the input stimuli and membrane potential graph respectively. Repeat the same procedure for other input conditions . The user can also export the values which are chosen to get plotted on the graph using the Export Button. After clicking on this button, you can save your file at the specified location in .csv format and can use later by importing these values into either MS-Excel sheet or MATLAB for high resolution images.
