RZ2

RZ2 Z-Series Base Station

 

 

 

RZ2 Z-Series Base Station
The RZ2’s new all-in-one form factor includes onboard power and communications without sacrificing compatibility. The standard DB-25 digital I/O connector and Legacy fiber optic ports make the RZ2 100% compatible with all other System 3 devices.

 

 

 

 

 

PZ2 PreAmp
The Z-Series PreAmps are used exclusively with Z-Series base stations and digitize signals at sampling rates up to ~50 kHz. Choose the PZ2 for extracelluar neurophysiology or the PZ3 for evoked potentials.

 

 

 

 

NN64
High channel count systems typically use the TDT 64-channel acute, high impedance headstages. Chronic headstages and microwire arrays are also available.

 


 
   

 

The RZ2 processes and filters acquired signals and can be used to control digital I/O and/or generate analog signals. Designed for up to 256-channel data acquisition, the RZ2 is the first in TDT’s Z-Series line of ultra high performance processors. Z-Series processors feature two, four or eight ultra fast digital signal processors networked on a novel bus architecture that speeds both onboard communication and memory access. Faster clock speeds and enhanced processing power not only improve channel count, but also allow for simultaneous acquisition on all 256 channels at sampling rates up to ~25 kHz and up to ~50 kHz on up to 128 channels. High bandwidth data is streamed from a Z-Series PreAmp to the RZ2 over a fast fiber optic connection. Our innovative Optibit optical PC interface ensures fast and reliable data transfer from the RZ2 to the PC. The RZ2 also features 16 channels of analog I/O, 24 bits of digital I/O, two legacy optical inputs for Medusa PreAmps, and an onboard LCD for system status display.

The RZ2 is rack mountable in a standard 19" rack and is 3 U (5 1/4") tall.

  TDT systems are compatible with a wide variety of electrode types, including stereotrodes and tetrodes, microwire arrays, metal microelectrodes, acute and chronic NeuroNexus probes, surface electrodes, multi-electrode caps, and needle electrodes.
   
 
The RZ2 is a highly optimized version
of our very successful RA16 and RX5 BioAmp processors. More power? The numbers
speak for themselves…
