OPERATION
The PAM device is a simple and easy-to-use device. As usual in any behavioral
measurement, care must be taken to by the operator to guarantee a consistent performance
of the test.
When using the PAM, we can envisage two main potential sources of experimental
variability: the first is the animal emotional state, which can be overcome by preliminary
habituation procedures and the second is the rate at which the operator applies the force.
The PAM device incorporates several tools to help the operator consistently apply the
desired amount and rate of force on the animal. These tools are described in the following
paragraphs.
4.1 First time operation
After charging PAM for at least 1 hour, plug in the large transducer and turn the instrument
ON by pressing the ON/OFF button. Once the introduction is completed, the initial menu
will appear as below.
