TDT RZ6 Multi I/O Processor

Description

The TDT RZ6 Multi I/O Processor is an advanced research tool tailored for (PhD) students seeking versatile capabilities in neuroscience and experimental setups. This device excels in various critical aspects:

  1. Signal Processing Power: The RZ6 is a device, capable of real-time signal processing, making it ideal for experiments requiring precise timing and complex data manipulation.
  2. Multimodal Data Acquisition: It can simultaneously acquire multiple types of data, such as neural signals, analog inputs, and digital events, allowing for comprehensive experimental monitoring.
  3. Customizable Experimentation: The BIOX toolbox enables flexible programming for students designing and controlling experiments with a high degree of specificity.
  4. Synchronization: The RZ6 I/O can be used for synchronizing with other devices, ensuring precise timing between various components of an experimental setup.
  5. Stimulation Capabilities: Students can employ the RZ6 to deliver precisely timed stimuli, making it valuable for a wide range of experiments involving sensory or behavioral responses.
  6. MATLAB Integration: The RZ6 is fully compatible, facilitating seamless integration and data analysis within MATLAB.
  7. Reliability: It has a reputation for robustness and durability that students can rely on for consistent, high-quality data collection.

Technical info

Digital I/O

DB25 Digital I/O pinout
PP RZ6 Digital I/O pinout

Figure 1 shows the pinout scheme of the digital I/O of the RZ6, in the lower left corner of Figure 6. Figure 13 and Figure 2 give the connection scheme of the RZ6 to the multiplexers, response box and Refa. See also Figure 10. PP refers to: “Patch Panel”, a switchboard with connectors.

Multiplexer control

Byte-C is for multiplexer control. Four PM2R multiplexer can be controlled via this output. The fifth and sixth bit of byte-C codes for the PM2R device ID (0-3). The first four bits for the channel number. Only one channel can be open at a time for each PM2R. The seventh bit opens the channel and the eighth bit closes any open channel.

Bit number Integer value Function
0 1 Bit 1 (least significant bit) of channel number
1 2 Bit 2 of channel number
2 4 Bit 3 of channel number
3 8 Bit 4 (most significant bit) of channel number
4 16 Least significant bit of device number
5 32 Most significant bit of device number
6 64 Turns on the channel of the specified device
7 128 Turns off all channels on the specified device only
