XDAQ supported headstages

XDAQ supported headstages

In addition to the ultra-small X-Headstages, XDAQ supports existing Intan-compatible headstages (from Intan, NeuroNexus, and more). 


To run these headstages with their corresponding accessories, you will need an adapter to properly remap the control and data signals. Currently, KONTEX provides adapters to interface X-Headstage with existing controllers from Open-Ephys/Intan Controllers/SmartBox, etc., and to let XDAQ use existing Intan-compatible headstages (from Intan, Smartlink, etc.). 


KONTEX can easily provide adapters for other solutions that are not currently supported. Contact us for more information.
