The Signal software VERSION 8

Signal is a sweep based data acquisition and analysis package. Its uses range from a simple storage oscilloscope to complex applications requiring stimulus generation, data capture, control of external equipment and custom analysis. This flexibility makes it ideal for a wide range of applications including transient capture, patch and voltage clamp, LTP studies, evoked response and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Signal is simple to set up for data capture and analysis

Signal has the sampling and analysis features most researchers need, in a user-friendly environment. A built-in script language automates repetitive tasks and provides additional tools for custom analyses and applications.

Signal includes functions for specific application areas including dynamic clamp, whole cell and patch clamp electrophysiology and evoked response including control of magnetic and other stimulus devices. Signal supports our 3305 and the Digitimer DS8R constant current stimulators.

Automated detection and measurement of synaptic events

Signal can make Resting Motor Threshold (RMT) measurements, using the MTAT 2.0 (PEST) algorithm.

Signal imports data recorded by many other systems, you can take advantage of this extremely versatile system to analyse existing data.

Optional windows can show dynamic information in text and images at large scale, to be visible across the lab.
The powerful data capture and time-saving analysis functions of Signal together with one of the CED 1401 family of laboratory interfaces make an extremely flexible and cost effective pillar of any laboratory.
