INTRODUCTION TO THE POWER LAB AND LAB TUTOR

THE POWER LAB SYSTEM

The Power Lab System is basically used to record various Physiological

activities of humans and animals for which the signal or data analysis and

manipulation become very much easy and less time consuming.

The technology derives from equipment such as

the kymograph and paper chart-recorders.



Power Lab Converts signals of mechanical and Physiological

activities into amplified electrical Signal by different devices.

 These Devices are called as Transducer which receive signal, amplify it and

transmit it towards the Computer.

LAB TUTOR

 A Software is installed to run the Power lab hardware known as Lab tutor.

 It is an HTML-based software package, designed specifically for laboratory

work and used in conjunction with ADInstruments' PowerLab.

 LabTutor controls all work of hardware such as, sampling and storage of

experimental data, and allows you to display, manipulate and analyze them.

instrument that measures electrical signals, through the inputs on its front panel. It

can also generate voltage pulses for electrical stimulation of nerve and muscle.

Signal Conditioners

 AD Instruments signal conditioners are software-controlled pre-amplifiers

for use with Power Lab data acquisition systems.

 The two types you are likely to see are Pods and Front-ends. Once
