Theory of Operation The 4ET is a Physiotel® transmitter that will allow measurement of four different biopotential readings. Included in these measurements but not limited are EOG, EMG, ECG and EEG. This transmitter also has the capability to monitor from multi-housed animals. The signal from this transmitter can be manufactured to broadcast over one of two different frequencies. The new frequencies accommodate more channels and higher bandwidth.
S2 = small animal, frequency 2 L1 = large animal, frequency 1 L2 = large animal, frequency 2 Part Numbers Presently there are two sizes of 4ET transmitters available: 4ET (Small animal) H4ET (Large animal) Frequency 1 270-0142-001 4ET–S1 270-0140-001 H4ET–L1 Frequency 2 270-0142-002 4ET–S1 270-0140-002 H4ET–L2 ** Part numbers for the 4ET and H4ET include both the sensing module and telemetry module. For a telemetry replacement module only see table below.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
• • These channels are shared with other parameters (temperature, battery, voltage, ground) that could become inaccurate with excess wander from biopotential. DSI suggests using channels 1 and 3 for EEG or EMG Telemetry Module: o Portion of the transmitter that transmits the data to the receiver. This also is designed to be replaceable since it houses the battery as well.
sufficient. The other option would be to individually house the animals. Animals housed individually will be able to have the cages closer together and there will be no need for a spacer. Software Setup Setup of the 4ET transmitter with the Dataquest ART system will be a tedious process. Keeping track of all the information on the transmitters and where they are implanted and what receiver they are being placed on will be crucial in making this process go smoothly.
5. Following the manual configuration of the transmitters you can close the configuration hardware window and return to the acquisition window. Before you start sampling from the animals you will want to be sure the transmitters are turned on by using the radio provided. Use the S1 channel to monitor the 8 MHz transmitters and the S2 channel to monitor the 18 MHz transmitters.
