Test Signals
Voltage Clamp
The available test signals are Seal Test, Pulse and Zap.
Seal Test and Pulse amplitudes are selectable from 0 to ±1 V at the electrode.
Seal Test frequency is selectable from 2 to 1000 Hz.
Pulse duration is selectable from 0.1 to 500 ms.
Zap is fixed at +1V at the electrode but with selectable 0.1 to 50 ms duration.
Current Clamp
The available test signals are Tune, Pulse, Buzz and Clear (+/-).
Tune and Pulse amplitudes are selectable from 0 to ±10 V/R
f
amps at the
electrode.
Tune frequency is selectable from 2 to 1000 Hz.
Pulse duration is selectable from 0.1 to 500 ms.
Buzz amplitude is fixed at ±15 V signal to the headstage capacitor but with
selectable 0.05 to 500 ms duration.
Clear (+/-) amplitude is fixed at ±15 V signal to the headstage capacitor.
