BIONOMADIX SMART CENTER
Congratulations on your purchase of a BIOPAC BioNomadix Smart Center and welcome to the BIOPAC
community of researchers and educators – BIOPAC is confident that Smart Center will be a useful and vital
addition to your lab.
What is Smart Center?
BioNomadix Smart Center is a small-form data acquisition unit and wireless receiver that connects to a computer
USB port and records simultaneous physiological data from up to three BioNomadix Transmitters. Unlike
standard BioNomadix Systems requiring multiple receiver units connected to an MP Data Acquisition System,
Smart Center offers a compact, all-in-one data acquisition solution. Smart Center does not contain a battery and is
entirely powered by a computer USB port. No additional components or amplifiers are necessary. All that is
needed to record high quality data is the Smart Center, AcqKnowledge software, and transmitter(s).
Transmitter pairing and setup is configured in an easy-to-use AcqKnowledge Setup Wizard with guided prompts.
Smart Center supports all BioNomadix Transmitter types. When connected, Smart Center appears in the
AcqKnowledge hardware menu as a stand-alone hardware option, and supports most of the same advanced
software features as BIOPAC's MP160 and MP36R Research Systems.
Smart Center functionality can be extended via the integrated I/O port, which provides access for up to up to 8
TTL digital channels. This is useful for recording synchronization signals from SuperLab and E-Prime
stimulus/response studies, without the need for an additional transmitter.
High Level Benefits:
·
Small form factor (card deck sized)
·
Direct connection to computer
·
9 Channels of wireless data
