USB biosignal amplifier

...highly accurate biosignal data acquisition and processing system

g.USBamp - g.tec's latest 24 bit biosignal acquisition device - is the perfect tool for recording multimodal biosignal data with highest quality. This allows to investigate brain-, heart-, muscle-activity, eye movement, respiration, galvanic skin response and other body signals. g.USBamp is USB 2.0 enabled and comes with 16 simultaneous sampled biosignal channels and 2 analog output channels. A total of 4 independent grounds guarantee no interference between the recorded signals.  The amplifier is simply connected to the USB socket on your PC/Notebook and can immediately be used for data recording.  Record up to 256 channels using multiple g.USBamp devices.

Highlights

  • EEG, ECG, EMG and EOG recording via USB
  • 16 analog inputs with 24 Bit and a sampling frequency of up to 38400 Hz per channel
  • Digital filtering of the biosignal data (DC - 19.2 kHz)
  • Over-sampling to achieve a high signal to noise ratio
  • Simultaneous sample and hold for 16 channels
  • Direct connection of electrodes with standard safety connectors and system connectors

Excellent data quality

Each of the 16 analog to digital converter is operating at 2.4576 MHz. An oversampling of 64 times yields the sampling rate of 38400 Hz per channel. A powerful floating point Digital Signal Processor performs in addition oversampling and real-time filtering of the biosignal data (between 0 Hz - 19200 Hz). The sampling frequency can be selected up to 38400 Hz.

Therefore, a typical sampling frequency of 256 Hz yields to an oversampling rate of 9600. Hence, a very high signal to noise ratio is obtained especially needed in the recording of evoked potentials in EEG or in identifying small amplitude changes in high-resolution ECG recordings. You are measuring far below the noise-range of conventional amplifiers!

Calibration

For channel equalization - which is especially needed in multi-channel recordings - the device has an internal calibration unit. The calibration frequency can be adjusted to the frequency range of interest.

Skin-Electrode Impedance

In order to guarantee highest quality measurements the transition impedance of the skin-electrode must be controlled. The internal impedance testing unit measures the impedance for the individual electrodes.

Common mode noise cancellation

An additional digital to analog converter allows a driven-right leg (DRL) noise cancellation when ECG is recorded.
