1) Controlling 4 channels using 4 bits on the high speed digitial output Port 0 (for Automate, ALA,
BioScience Tools and Warner controllers)
2) Controlling 15 channels using 4 bits on the high speed digitial output Port 0 (for the BioscienceTools
controller), where if all the bits are off, all channels are off.
3) Controlling 16 channels using 4 bits on the high speed digitial output Port 0 (for the Automate and
ALA controllers), where if all the bits are off, Channel 1 is on.
In order to use AnalogOut 1 or AnalogOut 1 and AnalogOut 2 outputs for Fast Perfusion Change, you first
have to set the IC1 Data Type Units to ‘V’ and the Gain to the appropriate value for your controller (Table
10.3.1.2.1 and Fig. 10.3.1.2.2). If you are using the two analog outputs (1 and 2), you only set the Gain of
IC1 for setting AnalogOut 1, AnalogOut 2 in this case uses the Gain of AnalogOut 1.
For the ALA Scientific controller, and in the example in of Fast Perfusion Change shown in Fig. 10.3.1.2.2,
a Gain of 0.5, or 0.5 volts per channel, or 4.0 volts to turn on Channel 8 should be used. For the
Automate Scientific controller, a Gain of 0.575, or 0.575 volts per channel, or 4.6 volts out to turn on
Channel 8 should be used. We have directly tested the 0.575 Gain for the Automate Scientific ValveLine
8.2 controller and it seems to work fine. We have not tested the ALA Scientific VC
3
8 controller, but a
Gain of 0.5 is straightforward and should work fine.
