CHx2‐NN 16 Channel Chronic Headstage to 32
Channel Acute Probe
The CHx2-NN adapter connects a 32-channel acute NeuroNexus probe to two 16-
channel chronic TDT headstages (RA16CH). Connect the first RA16CH headstage
(channels 1-16) to the front of the adapter. Connect the second RA16CH
(channels 17-32) to the back of the adapter. This adapter also features a holding
rod for connection to a micromanipulator. As with the CH-AC adapter, reference and
ground are tied together by default on the chronic headstage so in general only one
pin connection is necessary. If you wish to use the Reference pad on the probe, do
not tie G and R together and cut the jumper on each headstage to make the inputs
differential. See "RA16CH/LP16CH/LP16CH-ZNF - 16 Channel Chronic Headstage"
on page 10-42, for more information.
Pinouts are looking into the connector and reflect the preamplifier channels.
TDT probe adapters are designed for specific TDT headstage to probe connections. If
you are using a third party headstage, please contact TDT support for assistance.
Important! When using these adapters with NeuroNexus probes, keep in mind that there are
several versions of each of the probes. TDTs CHx2-NN is designed for use with
Rev 2 of the 32-channel NeuroNexus acute probe. Check the NeuroNexus website
for pin diagrams. Also see MCMap in the
to re-map channel numbers.
nanoZ‐OMN/DIP nanoZ™ to Omnetics and DIP
Based Probes
The nanoZ-OMN/DIP adapter allows the user to connect an Omnetics or DIP based
probe to a nanoZ™ impedance tester. Connectors are labeled on the circuit board for
easy identification.
The K1 connector on the bottom of the adapter is used to connect the nanoZ™ to
one of the following:
•
•
•
The Chronic connector is a dual row 18-pin Omnetics nano connector that
is used with a 16-channel chronic probe, such as a TDT 16-channel
microwire array.
The OmCon connector is a dual row 36-pin Omnetics nano connector that
is used with a 32-channel chronic probe.
The Acute connector is a 0.5mm female 18-pin DIP socket that is used
with a 16-channel DIP-based probe, such as a 16-channel acute Neu-
ronexus probe.
