    The analog output can be connected to third party data acquisition systems. (e.g. National Instruments) Specifications The frequency response of the ANL-940-1 is linear (+/- 4 dB) up to 100 kHz. The analog output is +\- 14 Volts. The ANL-940-1 microphone and preamplifier combination are calibrated to provide 1 volt peak...

    The ANL-940-1 has been pre-calibrated at the factory. Do not adjust the instrument gain if you will be using the ANL-940-1 to quantify the actual amplitude (dB) of rodent vocalization. Refer to Appendix A for more information regarding measurement of sound pressure level amplitudes.
  • Page 7 Med Associates, Inc. recommends using a National Instruments DAQ device, such as the myDAQ or ELVIS. The ANL-940-1 has been tested with this equipment. For connection from the ANL- 940-1 BNC connector to the National Instruments DAQ device, the center and ground can be screwed into the terminals.
  • Page 8 The power supply has a 2.1mm connector and supplies 12V, 500mA. Insert the connector into the port on the back of the Amplifier and flip on the power switch. Figure 3.4 - Back View of ANL-940-1 Microphone Amplifier Insert power supply...

    30 mV (0.03V), the equivalent pressure at 1 m would be 30 mV * 0.25 = 7.5 mV ( or 30mV / 4). Recall that the ANL-940-1 has a calibration scaling of 1 Pa/V. Thus, the equivalent sound pressure level at 1 m would be 0.0075 V * 1 Pa/V = 0.0075 Pa.
