Function

The NatusADC filter acquires raw data in real-time from Natus Headboxes over UDP connection for signal processing and visualizations.

Hardware

In theory, the module should work fine with all of the following Natus Headboxes.

EEG32
EEG128, EEG128FS
Mobee32, Mobee32-02
Mobee-24
Connex/ Brain Monitor
Trex
EMU40
EEG32u
Quantum
NeuroLink IP
Bio-logic NetLink
Bio-logic Traveler

Drivers

Parameters

Parameters common to all source modules are described under User Reference:DataIOFilter. In addition, the following parameters are supported:

SamplingRate

The rate at which the device samples the data. The default value is the device's default sampling rate.

SampleBlockSize

The number of samples per block to acquire from the device The default value is 20

ServerBlockSize

The number of blocks sent by the server/device in a single UDP Packet. The default value is 1.

DecimationFactor

The decimation factor. The factor by which to decimate/downsize the signal. The default value is 1. The SamplingRate is updated by dividing it by the DecimationFactor. Note: The SamplingRate should be an integral multiple of DecimationFactor.

ServerIP

The IPv4 address of the server/device.

Port

The port number of the server/device which on which TCP runs. UDP port number is assumed to be 1 + TCP port number.

SourceCh

The number of channels to be acquired from the device. If this is set to auto, all the available channels from the device will be acquired.

SourceChGain

SourceChGain should be left to auto. The default value is 0 for every channel.

SourceChOffset

SourceChOffset should be left to auto. The default value is 1 microVolt for every channel.

SourceChList

The list of channel numbers to be acquired from the device. The order of the numbers doesn't matter, i.e., '1 2 3 4' is same as '3 2 4 1'. Entering duplicate channels, eg. in '1 2 3 2' will result in an error. Entering an invalid channel number, i.e., a number greater than the maximum number of the channels will result in an error. If set to auto, all the device channels will be streamed.

ChannelNames

The user-preferred channel names. If set to auto, the channel names will be retrieved from the device. If the device doesn't have any specific channel names, the channel names will be set to 0 to SourceCh - 1. If set manually, names should be given for each channel in SourceChList

States

Interpolated

Interpolated is represented by 1 bit. The device sends data in packets over UDP connection which is not a reliable connection and hence may result in loss of some packets. The lost packets between two packets received from the device are linearly interpolated from the aforementioned two packets. The Interpolated state value is 1 if the packet is interpolated or 0 if the packet is received from the device.

Additional Info

The module also contains a function called GetDecimationFactor to query the current Decimation Factor from the server/device.
