PS25001A EPIC Demo Kit w/ PS25101 Sensors

PS25001A Demonstration Unit comprises two Plessey Semiconductor EPIC active sensors, a 60Hz-version Control and Interface Box with software, USB cable, and a User Guide. This flexible system may be used to explore a range of EPIC applications from electrophysiological signal detection such as ECG/EKG (heart), EEG (alpha brainwaves), and EOG (eye-movement) -  through to local electric field detection for applications such as motion or personnel sensing. 

Two sensor assemblies and connecting cables are included with the Demo Kit.

EPIC Demonstration Kit versions are also available with PS25012A contact sensors and PS25014A non-contact sensors.

Plessey Semiconductor’s EPIC (Electric Potential Integrated Circuit) sensors can capture high quality clinical electrophysiological signals enabling the remote monitoring of vital signs. EPIC technology is also capable of movement sensing and the accurate imaging of charge distributions and material properties.

The Control and Interface Box provides the following functions:

• Power and signal socket for two EPIC PS25x01 sensors (channel A and B).
• Switchable gain of x1 and x10.
• Switchable low-pass filtering
• Switchable 60Hz notch filtering
• Analog outputs for each sensor (channel A and B)
• Analog difference output for the two sensors (channel A -channel B)
• Internal data acquisition (DAQ) card.
• USB 2.0 interface

The Sensor Demo Boards have a screened wire lead that is terminated in a 4 pin DIN plug.

The front panel of the box is detailed below:

The USB-powered Control and Interface Box requires connection to a PC running the associated software. While the analog output signals from the box can be sent to an oscilloscope, the software provided displays a rolling waveform with chart recorder capability. Software Filter Control check boxes allow high-pass/comb/low-pass digital filters to be applied and modified.
