    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3.2. Description of the Front Panel POWER LED LED indicating that the ISO-STIM 01D is powered on BIPOLAR ON/ BIPOLAR OFF switch Switch that selects the stimulus mode. Switching to BIPOLAR ON results in a stimulus with the same amplitude in positive and negative direction without any delay. Amplitude...

In CURRENT OUTPUT MODE the limit (±100 V) is set by the corresponding voltage at the electrode due to Ohm’s Law [V = I*R]), i.e. this control...
  • Page 8 #18. The same procedure is repeated in TTL mode for current source OFFSET, if the ISO-STIM 01D is in CURRENT mode using the CURRENT OFFSET trim pot #17. If these baselines are set, the isolation amplifiers may still produce a signal in ANALOG or DIRECT mode even if no stimulus is applied.

    4. Operation 4.1. Connections – Noise Reduction The ISO-STIM 01D comes with a power supply (13.8 V, DC) with two outputs which are connected to the stimulus isolation device by two cables with banana plugs. The corresponding jacks at the ISO-STIM 01D are located at the rear panel, or use the FILTERED/UNFILTERED switch.

Modes of Operation GATE TTL INPUT MODE: In this mode the output signal is generated by the built-in timing unit. It is triggered either manually via the MANUAL TRIGGER switch or via a TTL pulse at the GATE TTL BNC connector.
