MP100 Data Acquisition System - Mac
OUT OF STOCK USB1M - DISCONTINUED 4.15.2010

The MP100 data acquisition system provides a flexible tool for your life science research and teaching needs. The modular, powerful interface system for Mac can be used with BIOPAC's amplifiers and accessories AND with equipment you already have.

The MP100 data acquisition workstations include all hardware, software and guides you need to get started. The software, hardware and tutorial guides are provided in digital, PDF format for easy access and search options while running AcqKnowledge; printed guides are also available—see MANMPSYS.
 
AcqKnowledge is an interactive, intuitive program that lets you instantly view, measure, analyze, and transform data. Perform complex data acquisition, stimulation, triggering and analyses using simple pull-down menus and dialogs—no need to learn a programming language or new protocol. Online analysis settings, filters, and transformations provide real-time feedback, or you can choose from a wide variety of off-line analysis tools. Multiple display options are available during and after acquisition—just click on an icon to flip between Chart, Scope, X/Y, Overlapped segments, Histogram, or FFT. The software also includes quality presentation capabilities.
 
To put together a system for your specific needs, start with one of our Starter Systems, then add the amplifier modules, transducers and electrodes to match your research design.
 
Apple Mac software AcqKnowledgeSoftware runs on Mac OS X 10.3 and higher.
