Exercise caution when using any of the options withhuman subjects—see the Safety Note on page 6141.Pulses Output ControlSelect this Output Control for general pulse output, or when synchronizing to 3 rd -party devices.Use for reaction time measurements, where a subject listens with headphones for a series of “clicks” (pulses) andresponds as quickly as possible with a button press. Determine reaction times by calculating the time between thestart of the pulses and the responses.Use with the BIOPAC STP30W Stimulus Presentation System (SuperLab) to measure responses to visual orauditory stimuli. To perform sophisticated evoked response averaging tests (e.g. P300), pair triggers with differentvisual or auditory stimuli.Use to trigger another device (automatically send a pulse from the MP UNIT when acquisition starts).Use to control a 3 rd -party stimulator. BIOPAC recommends use of the BIOPAC BSLSTM Stimulator with the MPUNIT and BSL PRO software. If using the BSLSTM Stimulator, use the Stimulator - BSLSTM Output Controlinstead of this Pulses Output Control.Stimulator – BSLSTMSelect this Output Control when using the Biopac Student Lab stimulator(BSLSTM)Use with stimulation electrode HSTM01 for safe stimulation ofhuman subjects (0 – 100 Volts), as well as lower voltage (0 - +10Volt) general-purpose stimulation, such is used with amphibianmuscle or nerve preparations.Set up note Placing the BSLSTMA/B unit too close to MP UNIT hardware can result in data distortionof the BSLSTMA/B pulse width signal; distortion is more apparent at higher sampling rates. NEVER set the BSLSTMA/B atop an MP UNIT Position the BSLSTMA/B away from the MP UNIT to reduce the signal distortionLow Voltage StimulatorSelect this Output Control for low-voltage (-10 - +10 Volt), direct drivestimulation via MP36 Analog Out port (with or without OUT3 BNCadapter) or an MP35 with SS58L connector.Use with stimulator electrode HSTM01for safe, stimulation of humansubjects (0 – 100 Volts), as well as lower voltage (0 - +10 Volt) generalpurposestimulation, such is used with amphibian muscle or nervepreparations.Outputs through a BNC connector so it can be usedwith most stimulation cables (such as those thatterminate in a needle probe).Visit the online support center at www.biopac.com
