RZ5D BioAmp Processor
RZ5DBioAmpProcessor
RZ5DOverview
The RZ5D BioAmp Processor is available with either three or four digital signal
processors cards. Any card can be either a single standard processor card
(RZDSP) or a quad core processor card (QZDSP). Standard single processor
cards use a single Sharc DSP; quad-core processor cards use four Sharc DSPs
cores with the potential to more than double the power of the RZ5D. All cards are
networked on a multiprocessor architecture that features efficient onboard
communication and memory access. The RZ5D is a versatile solution for real-time
processing and simultaneous acquisition and stimulation.
The RZ5D acquires and processes up to 32 channels of neurophysiological signals in
real-time. Data can be input from a PZ amplifier or digital headstage manifold at a
sampling rate of up to ~50 kHz. The RZ5D also supports microstimulation
applications. The RZ5D can be used with TDT’s IZ2 stimulus isolator for up to 128
channels of stimulation and switching headstages (SH16-Z) to comprise a complete
microstimulation system. For more information, see “IZ2/IZ2H Stimulator” on
page 7-3.
Both single and quad-core processors cards may include an optical interface for
connection to devices such as the RS4 Data Streamer or a second PZ Amplifier.
The RZ5D also features eight channels of analog I/O, 24 bits of digital I/O and an
onboard monitor speaker with volume control.
PowerandCommunication
The RZ5D's integrated Optibit optical interface ensures fast and reliable data transfer
from the RZ5D to the PC. Connectors are provided on the back panel and are color
coded for correct wiring. The RZ5D’s integrated power supply is shipped from the
factory configured for the desired voltage setting (110 V or 220 V). If you need to
change the voltage setting, please contact TDT support at +1.386.462.9622 or email
