automated

The Noldus USB-IO box is a device that enables EthoVision XT to communicate directly with external equipment. You can use it to connect to the Noldus pellet dispenser, the Noldus lickometer, levers, or the light and sound stimuli of a PhenoTyper topunit. You can also use it to connect to the automated parts of mazes and other test set-ups, such as automatic doors. When you combine the easy-to-use programming environment of EthoVision XT’s Trial & Hardware Control Module with the USB-IO box, your research can become fully automated. Benefits Use an easy and cost-effective tool to build a fully automated set-up in combination with EthoVision XT. Combine different kinds of equipment that send and receive signals or data to and from the USB-IO box or the mini USB-IO box. Features The USB-IO box provides the interface between EthoVision XT’s Trial & Hardware Control module and peripheral devices. It allows you to benefit from all the different options for completely automated set-ups that EthoVision XT offers. This even includes set-ups with multiple cages and multiple animals per cage, even in synchrony with external physiological signals. Cost-efficient You can use the USB-IO box in a wide variety of set-ups, connecting any kind of standard TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) based equipment. This makes it a very cost-effective and efficient tool; you can use new equipment, equipment that is already in you lab, or custom made devices.
