256MEA Signal Generator is a convenient tool for USB-MEA256-System users. Use the 256MEA-SG
instead of setting up an experiment with biological sample for training, controlling, and troubleshooting
purposes. This reduces the number of animal experiments and saves laboratory equipment.
Switch on : Press control button. Switch off : Press control button longer than two seconds.
Important : To change DIP switch position, please switch off the device!
