Habitest Interface Hardware
 

   

System Power Base (includes lid & ECB probe)

System Power Base (includes lid & ECB probe)

Product Number: H01-01

The Habitest System Power Base accommodates up to 8 Habitest Lincs which can run up to 16 stations.  The first Habitest Linc mounts on top of the power base and successive Linc mounts on the Habitest Linc below it.  Power is supplied via the stacking pins on each Habitest Linc. Each Linc is also supplied with a signal cable so the first Linc connects to the power base and each successive Habitest Linc to the Linc below it.  The top lid is included with the power base.

Specifications:
Main Voltage: Available in 110 Volt/60 Hz and 220 Volt/50 Hz
Output Voltage:  -28 Volts DC;  Current:  8 Amps steady state; 10 Amps surge
Output Voltage:  5 Volts;  Current:  5 Amps

 

 

   

Habitest Linc (a full system may include from 1 to 8)

Habitest Linc (a full system may include from 1 to 8)

 

Product Number: H02-08

Controlled by the Graphic State Notation software, each Habitest Linc can operate one or two stations depending on the number of inputs and outputs that are needed for each station.  Habitest Lincs can also be grouped to use two Lincs or four Lincs for a single station.  The configuration of Lincs per station is done via software.  The various configurations will yield:

One Linc per two stations:  4 inputs and 18 outputs
One Linc per station: 8 inputs and 36 outputs
Two Lincs per station: 16 inputs and 72 outputs
Four Lincs per station: 32 inputs and 144 outputs

Each Habitest Linc is provided with a short signal cable to connect to daisy chain to the Linc below it on the stack of Lincs in a system.  An H03-04 Environment Connection Panel and Cable is required to connect the Habitest Linc to the environment.  Two H03-04 Environment Connection Board cables can be connected to each Linc.

   

Environment Connection Board (ECB) & Linc Cable

Environment Connection Board (ECB) & Linc Cable

Product Number: H03-04

A 25-foot cable is supplied with each ECB. You must order ECBs seperately. They are not provided with the Linc.

 

 

 

   

Habitest Self-Powered Linc (only 1 per system)

Habitest Self-Powered Linc (only 1 per system)

Product Number: H02-01

Controlled by the Graphic State Notation software, the Self-Powered Habitest Linc can operate one or two stations depending on the number of inputs and outputs that are needed for each station.  The configuration of the Linc per station is done via software.  Unlike the H02-08 Habitest Linc, only a single H02-01 Self-Powered Habitest Linc can be interfaced to a computer.   The two configurations will yield:

One Linc per two stations: 4 inputs and 18 outputs
One Linc per station: 8 inputs and 36 outputs 

An H03-04 Environment Connection Panel and Cable is required to connect the Habitest Linc to the environment. Two H03-04 Environment Connection Board cables can be connected to the Self-Powered Habitest Linc.

   

Habitest Linc Output Converter

H03-14

 

 

Product Number: H03-14

The H03-14 Habitest™ Linc Output Converter provides 5 Volt TTL compatible outputs from a Habitest Linc (H02-01 and H02-08).  The H03-14 converts the –28VDC outputs from the Habitest Lincs to standard 5 Volt, High True, TTL Logic.  The H03-14 also passes the -28 Volt signals for simultaneously operating stimulus devices.  A single Habitest Linc can support up to two of the H03-14, providing 28, 5 Volt TTL outputs.   

This device is used for applications that require a 5 Volt TTL signal for operating auxiliary devices and for synchronizing time and stimulus onset/offset with other recording systems requiring 5 Volt TTL signal inputs being used simultaneously with Graphic State. 

A 10-foot, 40-Pin IDC cable for interfacing the H03-14 to a Habitest Linc and a 10-foot, 26-Pin IDC cable for the 5 Volt TTL outputs are included.

   

PCI Computer Interface Card

PCI Computer Interface Card

 

Product Number: PCI-3-KIT

One of these PCI, plug-and-play cards is required to control up to the full complement of eight H02-08 Habitest Lincs from one computer. The card-to-power-base cable is included with the card.
