Hi,

I am using the STG2004 for electrical stimulaton (current mode). What I now would like to do is, control the STG2004 via AD Instruments Powerlab. From their homepage I learned that they seem to have some kind of support for the STG4004 series - so I hope that this would also be doable for the STG2004.

Basically: I would like to have an externl trigger impuls that comes from an MRI machine (e.g. TTL puls), after e.g. 100 Pulses I would like that the STG2004 produces its output signal (stimulus e.g. 1 mA, 6 Hz) for a time till my input trigger signal (from the MRI machine) arrives e.g. at 120. Then the STG2004 should stop the stimulation and may be at MRI trigger 200 till 220 do the same stimulation again.

I am now wondering if such a pattern could be done via the MC stimulus software, or if the STG2004 can be controlled via ADI Powerlab for such a stimulation pattern. AD offers also a kind of own stimulus generator control (e.g. stimulus frequency, amplituded etc.) but I guess the STG4004 support only is meant for a trigger signal. Does anyone successfully use an STG stimulus generator in concert with Powerlab? May be it can be operated in streaming mode and then fully controlled via the Powerlab stimulus generator modul (in Lab Chart)?

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance

Hans
