DETAILS HEADlab systems can be individually customized to include controllers, input, playback, and power supply modules, as well as other accessories. HEADlink 2.0 Transmission Protocol A powerful controller is the centerpiece of a HEADlab system. It ensures sub-sample-accurate data concentration and synchronization, supplies the input modules with power, and establishes the connection to the computer (or to the labSAR industrial PC) via USB or LAN. With 10 labV24 II input modules connected, a labCTRL II.1 controller enables measurements with a maximum of 240 channels at a sampling rate of 24...
