The test enclsoure is designed with clear acrylic walls providing the ability to attach any type of cue. Removable floors allow the user to create custom floors from virtually any material to meet specific study requirements. High intensity LED celing lights are long lasting and emit no heat. Manually operated doors rise fully, providing an unobstructed pathway for the subject to cross between chambers. Record full activity data including x,y positioning at all times Choose your own cues and change flooring for maximum flexibility in testing Capture all movements with the 4×16 photobeam array Setup, record, and export all data with point-and-click ease
