National instruments parts for Neuropixel 1.0 and 2.0

Open GlassGirlImg opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi to all,

Our lab want to buy Neuropixel. I have read recommendation about chassie and controller part.

Will this part remain the same for Neuropixel 2.0?

MXI-Express interface (NI PCIe-8381 and PXIe-8381) is out of stock. Can it be replaced with other controller? I am not confident with this part.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, it's the same for 2.0. See this page for some info about compatible PXI systems: https://github.com/billkarsh/SpikeGLX/blob/master/Markdown/SystemRequirements_PXI.md

Thank you a lot for your answer!

I found this configuration chassie+controller ADLink PXES-2301 (6 slots)+ADLink 8638 (4 GB/s). There can be a problem if we need to connect non-neuronal additional devices.

Does someone here use this configuration and does it need additional programming skills to install it instead of NI only to drive Neuropixel probe?
