SmartBox Data Acquisition System

The SmartBox represents a paradigm shift in data acquisition: a powerful, portable, turnkey 256-channel system with integrated probe mapping and extensive connectivity.

    • Powerful – record up to 256 channels simultaneously, from up to 4 concurrent independent experiments, at up to 30,000 samples/second
    • Portable – Take your recording system and laptop with you and record from anywhere
    • Integrated Probe Mapping – Obtain new insight into your experiment with real-time spatial estimates of spike locations
    • Flexible Post-processing – Raw data is streamed to disk for maximum options in post-processing. Read data into MATLAB or export to other programs for analysis.
    • Connect to peripherals – A total of 8 I/O connections (4 analog, 4 digital) enable signal synchronization with digital and analog peripherals.
    • Plug and Play – The SmartBox arrives ready to go, with minimal setup required
