Capacitance Dithering
A TTL input at the rear-panel capacitance dither BNC input activates the dither. This
effectively increases the measured membrane capacitance by 0.1 % of the full-scale range
(thus, by 0.1 pF for β = 1 or 1 pF for β = 0.1) by transiently reducing the Whole-Cell
Capacitance value by that amount.
Mode
V-Clamp
Pipette voltage is clamped.
I-Clamp Normal or Fast
Pipette current is clamped to command current from Holding Command knob or external
input.
NORMAL mode stable for electrode resistances greater than 1 MΩ.
FAST mode stable for electrode resistances greater than 10 MΩ.
SERIES RESISTANCE control is active.
I=0
Slow I-CLAMP to zero current.
Track
Slow I-CLAMP to zero current used to correct pipette offset.
Selected mode sets analog voltage on MODE TELEGRAPH OUTPUT.
