2.1. General System Description / Operation The npi EPMS-07 is a modular system for processing of bioelectrical signals in electrophysiology. The system is housed in a 19” rack-mount cabinet (3U) has room for up to 7 plug-in units. The plug-in units are connected to power by a bus at the rear panel.
Note: The chassis of the PWR-03D is connected to protective earth, and it provides protective earth to the EPMS-E housing if connected. Figure 3: Left: PWR-03D front panel view Right: PWR-03D rear panel view. Note: This power supply is intended to be used with npi EPMS-E systems only. version 1.2 page 5...
INR-01-T User Manual 2.7. System Grounding EPMS-07/EPMS-03 The 19" cabinet is grounded by the power cable through the ground pin of the mains connector (= protective earth). In order to avoid ground loops the internal ground is isolated from the protective earth. The internal ground is used on the BNC connectors or GROUND plugs of the modules that are inserted into the EPMS-07 housing.
3.2. INR-01-T System Description The INR-01-T module is designed for generating envelopes from noisy INPUT signals, e.g. to facilitate detection of oscillations from extracellular measurements in excitable tissues. The INPUT signal is rectified by an “absolute value” circuit and subsequently applied to a “leaky integrator”...
