Spatial organization of electrode sites are altered with the use of a ZIF-Clip adapter.

Note #: 0863

Product: ZIF-Clip headstage adapters

Version: All

Date Added:  09/14/09

Issue:

When switching from the older versions of the TDT headstages (RA16AC, RA16CH, LP16CH, NN32, and NN64) to the ZIF-Clip headstage and corresponding adapter, electrode sites may not match the preamplifier channels.

Probe manufacturers often change the pinout configuration of their probes or the probe site map simply does not match up to the adapter. This results in data not being recorded on the expected channel.

Solution:

If you purchased SpikePac, use the SiteMap power macro to automatically remap to the correct site configuration based on your headstage, adapter, and probe combination. If you wish to manually remap the channel orientation, see MCMap in the RPvdsEx Manual.
