50/60 Hz line-frequency

EBOOK

Eliminate 50/60 Hz line-frequency noise in less than one second

The HumSilencer® feature of the Axon™ Digidata® system learns, adapts, and eliminates local 50/60 Hz line-frequency noise patterns and associated high-frequency harmonics from incoming signals on up to four channels in parallel.

Humsilencer-Electrophysiological Applications

About this eBook:

A major challenge within electrophysiology research is 50 or 60 Hz line frequency electrical noise, which can either distort or completely drown out the biological signal the researcher is attempting to acquire. Methods for tackling this problem already exist but are either slow and inefficient or run the risk of themselves distorting the data.

In this eBook, you’ll learn how the HumSilencer feature within the Axon™ Digidata® 1550A/B Series Low-Noise Data Acquisition System provides a quick, adaptive method to remove excess noise across a range of electrophysiological applications, without distorting the data.

  • High rate of sampling (500kHz) means a more faithful digitization process, allowing for precise digital reconstruction of the analogue signal due to minimal information loss
  • Eight channels can be sampled and digitized simultaneously, increasing data acquisition speed
  • The HumSilencer option with the Digidata range eliminates of 50 and 60Hz line-frequency noise, making the biological signal clearer without distorting the data
