In addition to the ultra-small X-Headstages, XDAQ also supports existing headstages that are compatible with Intan systems, such as those from NeuroNexus and Intan itself. However, an adapter is required to properly re-map the control and data signals to run these headstages and their corresponding accessories.
Fortunately, NeuroNexus offers adapters that allow X-Headstages to interface with existing controllers from Open-Ephys, Intan Controllers, SmartBox, and other similar systems. These adapters also enable XDAQ to use existing Intan-compatible headstages from Smartlink, Intan, and other compatible manufacturers.
NeuroNexus can easily provide adapters for other solutions not already supported. Contact us for more information.
XDAQ to Smart link Adapter
To use NeuroNexus headstages with the XDAQ, simply connect the adapter to the HDMI ports and then use the Smartlink cable to link it up. This will allow you to use the NeuroNexus headstages directly with the XDAQ.
XDAQ to Intan RHS Headstage Adapter
To use the original Intan cables and headstages with the XDAQ, plug in this adapter into the HDMI ports. This will enable you to use the Intan RHS chips directly with the XDAQ. It’s worth noting that each adapter has the capability to drive up to 2 Intan RHS chips.
XDAQ to Intan RHD Headstage Adapter
To use the original Intan cables and headstages with the XDAQ, simply plug in this adapter to the HDMI ports. This will allow you to connect the Intan RHD chips directly to the XDAQ using the original cables and headstages. Keep in mind that each adapter has the capacity to drive up to 4 Intan RHD chips.
