Around the PowerLab system we provide a range of amplifiers, instruments and specialized analysis software to provide a complete research solution.
LabChart Software:
LabChart is suitable for research on any species ? from humans to mice to flies. The software provides the capability to continuously record and display up to 16 channels of data, perform online or offline calculations, display numerous analysis windows and automatically extract data. Quick and easy set up of experimental parameters, powerful computation and analysis features are just the beginning. Configuring recording parameters, such as range and filters, takes seconds, with all of the information, including settings, calibrations and computed values, saved in a single file. Parameters of interest are easily extracted to an internal spreadsheet and can be exported for further analysis or graphing.
LabChart Modules:
LabChart modules are software add-ons that provide comprehensive analysis feature sets for specific research applications. For the latest list of modules see the soft ware updates section of our website.
Hardware:
PowerLab systems combine software-controlled input of parameters, extensive signal conditioning options, variable sampling speeds and powerful real-time computations with the advantages of computer-based data display and analysis. They offer the functionality of a chart recorder, XYT plotter, digital voltmeter and storage oscilloscope in one compact unit. PowerLab systems connect to Windows and Macintosh computers using high-speed USB. Four, eight and sixteen-channel models are available with sampling and online computation speeds of up to 200 kHz per channel (400 kHz aggregate). They feature independently selectable input sensitivities, high-pass, low-pass and anti-aliasing filters, 16-bit resolution, analog outputs as well as digital input and output connections for triggering and controlling external devices.
Signal Conditioners:
A wide range of software-controlled preamplifiers is available for use with PowerLab data acquisition systems. Once connected, the signal conditioners are automatically identified and configured by the PowerLab system with all settings stored when the data file is saved on your computer.
Instruments, Transducers and Accessories:
An extensive selection of instruments, transducers and accessories is also available to cover numerous life science applications. Third-party products sourced from gold-standard manufacturers are fully compatible with PowerLab recorders and signal conditioners.
