more than ~100 Mbps. When the RZ2 is processing, the current data transfer rate
(Mbps) is displayed in the top right corner of the LCD Screen. This maximum rate
may be further limited by your PC's ability to store the data to disk.
This equates to streaming a maximum of 160 channels at a sampling rate of ~25
kHz or 90 channels at a sampling rate of ~50 kHz. See "Calculating Data Transfer
Rates" in the
RZ2 Features
Amplifier and Onboard Analog I/O
The RZ2 is equipped with both optical port amplifier input and onboard analog I/O
capabilities. The high speed fiber optic ports (located on the RZ2 back panel) and
Legacy fiber optic ports allow a direct connection to Z-Series or Medusa
preamplifiers. Physiological signals are digitized on the preamplifier and transferred
across noiseless fiber optics.
Legacy PreAmp Input
The RZ2 also includes onboard D/A for stimulus generation and experiment control,
and A/D for input of signals from a variety of other analog sources.
The RZ2_Input_MC macro provides a universal solution for analog input via the RZ2,
automatically selecting the correct components, applying any scale factors or channel
offsets, and performing data type conversion needed based on information the user
provides about the input source.
The table below provides a quick overview of these I/O features and how they must
be accessed during circuit design. When the RZ2_Input_MC macro is not used,
reference the table and be sure to use the appropriate component, channel offset,
