1. Introduction
Master-8 is an 8-channel stimulator/pulse generator which enables you to switch your set-up between
completely different experiments (paradigms). Master-8 stores eight user’s preprogrammed paradigms.
Each paradigm can use all eight channels.
Using Master-8, switching between two different protocols is easily accomplished. Set-up can be
switched to the selected setting by using a single command. This option is very useful in the following
cases:
a. where the current protocol requires modification during the course of the experiment.
b. where several users with identical set-ups require retrieval of their specific settings from the
Master-8 memory.
1.1 General
A lithium battery with a guaranteed life of 7 years ensures that all parameters of the 8 paradigms are
stored in the memory even after the power is switched off, unless the parameters are changed.
Therefore, there is no need to reinsert the parameters when switching on the system.
