605A: Dynamic Muscle Data Acquisition and Analysis System
The 605A Data Acquisition and Analysis System provides physiology researchers with a complete hardware and software package for obtaining and processing data from Aurora Scientific instrumentation. The 605A system includes our LabVIEW based Windows software suite consisting of Dynamic Muscle Control (DMC) and Dynamic Muscle Analysis – High Throughput (DMA-HT) in addition to a Windows PC, National Instruments A/D card and our 604A signal interface.
Our DMC protocol library includes a variety of muscle experiments for mouse and rat mechanics which include system operation and data acquisition settings optimized for the researchers unique sample type and measurement needs. You can add your own custom protocols to suit the needs of multiple lab members.
Experience high-throughput data analysis with DMA-HT to process hundreds of muscle samples in minutes. Downstream analysis can be completed within Aurora Scientific’s DMC/DMA software or exported to your preferred analysis program. The software comes pre-loaded on a quad core Windows PC installed with a National Instruments A/D card. Easily connect Aurora Scientific transducers, motors, levers and stimulators to your PC with our signal interface which comes complete with BNC cables, terminators and T-fitting.
