ERG recordings. The instrument is not intended for clinical measurements using humans. Each channel of the Model 1800 contains a high-gain, low-noise differential amplifier stage followed by low frequency, high-frequency, and notch filters. Three operating modes are available to accommodate recording, stimulating, and verification of electrode impedance.

Overview The Head Stage Probe, containing a high input impedance, low-noise, differential amplifier, is connected to the Model 1800 through a 9-pin Input connector assigned to each channel. The Mode Switch for each channel controls the input configuration of the Probe attached to that channel as well as the operation of the subsequent stages of the amplifier.
