This a tutorial for setting up RTXI with the Axoclamp 2 electrophysiology amplifier by Molecular Devices. We will follow their tutorials for practicing bridge balancing and capacitance neutralization with the CLAMP-1U model cell. Here, the computer has a National Instruments 6052 E-series DAQ card installed and is connected to an Axoclamp 2B through a National [...]

64-bit mainstream desktop computing was introduced around 2003 with AMD’s Opteron and Athlon 64 processor lines. These processor’s were based on AMD’s 64-bit extensions (x86_64) to Intel’s 32-bit (x86) architecture. Apple also started selling the 64-bit capable G5 systems. Intel adopted AMD’s specifications and introduced a few compatible processors before ultimately releasing their own 64-bit [...]

DYNAMO is a scripting language that allows you to create a RTXI module based on a dynamical system model described by ordinary differential equations. It uses a simple syntax for declaring the system states, parameters, state functions, and differential equations. This tutorial is based on the Hodgkin-Huxley DYNAMO model available in this set of examples. [...]

User modules are actually custom C++ classes. The easiest way to create a module is to use a base class named DefaultGUIModel. DefaultGUIModel constructs a simple graphical user interface that allow users to interact with parameters and activate real-time code. These modules also inherit methods for hard real-time execution and event handling, the ability to [...]
