The MP data acquisition unit is the heart of all Core Packages. The MP Unit has an internal microprocessor to

control data acquisition and communication with the computer. The MP Unit takes incoming signals and converts

them into digital signals that can be processed with the computer. There are analog input channels (four on

MP36/35 units, two on MP45), one of which can be used as a trigger input. The MP Unit must be connected to the

computer and electrodes, transducers, and/or I/O devices must be connected to the MP Unit. Users are suggested

to take a few minutes to become familiar with the MP Unit prior to making any connections.

Types of Input Devices

There are three types of devices that connect to the MP36/35 and MP45: electrodes, transducers, and I/O devices.

Electrodes are relatively simple instruments that attach to the surface of the skin and pick up electrical

signals in the body.

Transducers, on the other hand, convert a physical signal into a proportional electrical signal.

Input/Output devices (I/O for short) are specialized devices like pushbutton switches and headphones.

Simple Sensor Connectors

Regardless of the type of device connected, every sensor or I/O device connects to the MP36/35 using a “Simple

Sensor” connector. Simple Sensor connectors are designed to plug only one way into the MP unit—no need to

worry about plugging things in upside down or into the wrong socket!

Electrodes, transducers, and the pushbutton switch all connect to the channel input ports on the front

panel of the MP36/35 and MP45.

Headphones and the stimulator connect to the “Analog out” port on the back panel of the MP36/35 and to

the headphone jack on the top of the MP45.

MP36/35 only: A digital device may connect to the “I/O Port” on the back panel

MP36/35 only: A trigger device may be connected to the “Trigger” port on the back panel.

Front Panel

Front Panel, MP36/35

The front panel of the MP36/35 has an electrode check port, four analog input ports, and two status indicators.

Electrode Check

The Electrode Check port is a diagnostic tool used with the BSL PRO

software to determine if the electrodes are properly attached to the subject.

The MP45 does not have an Electrode Check port. Use BIOPAC’s EL-CHECK

standalone electrode impedance checker to measure electrode/skin contact.

MP45 is

CH 1 and CH 2 only.

Input Ports: CH 1, CH 2, CH 3, and CH 4

The 9-pin female analog input ports on the MP acquisition unit are referred

to as Channels. There are four on the front of MP36/35 Units and two on the

MP45. The Biopac Student Lab Lessons software will always check to see that

the proper sensors are connected to the appropriate channel.

Status Indicators

Busy—indicator is activated when the MP36/35 is acquiring data and also during the first few seconds

after the MP36/35 is powered on to indicate that a self-test is in progress. (When the MP36/35 passes the

power-on test, the Busy light will turn off.)

Power—status indicator is illuminated when the MP36/35 is turned on.

Ready—status indicator is illuminated when the MP45 is plugged in and communicating.

Back Panel

Back Panel, MP36/35

The back panel of the MP36/35 has an analog output port, a USB port, an I/O Port, a Trigger Port, a DC input, a

fuse holder, a power switch, and the unit’s serial number.

The back panel of the MP45 has a USB cable and headphone port.

Analog Out Port – Low Voltage Stimulator

There is one 9-pin male “D” analog output port on the back of the MP36/35 that allows signals to be amplified

and sent out to devices such as headphones. On the MP36, Analog Out is built-in low voltage stimulator.

Not available for MP45.

USB Connection

The MP36/35 connects to the computer via a USB Port, located just below the word USB.

Uses a standard USB connector.

Should only be used to connect the MP36/35 to a PC or Macintosh.

The MP45 USB cable is a full-speed USB connector and should only be used to connect the MP45 to a

PC or Mac USB port.

Headphone Output

Accepts a standard (1/4” or 6.3mm) stereo headphone jack; functional for MP36 and MP45 only.

I/O Port (MP36/35 only)

Accepts a DB 25 Female connector.

Input/Output port used to connect digital devices to the MP36/35.

Trigger Input (MP36/35 only)

Accepts a male BNC connector.

Input port used to send trigger signals from another device to the MP36/35.

MP system external trigger inputs are TTL compatible—this means that one needs to send the external

trigger input 0 volts for a TTL low and 5 volts for a TTL high.

The external trigger inputs are equipped with internal pull-up resistors—this means that they

automatically sit at TTL high, if left unattached.

This is a common and helpful implementation, because all one requires to implement an external

trigger is to pull the external trigger input low.

This implementation is typically performed with an external switch placed between the external

trigger input and ground.

When the switch is closed the external trigger input is pulled to TTL low.

When the switch is opened the external trigger input is pulled back (by the internal pull-

up resistor) to TTL high.

To sync several MP systems together, so that one external trigger can start all the MP systems

simultaneously:

1. Connect all the MP systems grounds together.

2. Connect all the MP systems external trigger inputs together.

3. Place a switch between any MP system external trigger input and ground.

When the switch is pressed, all the MP systems that are connected together will be triggered

simultaneously.

DC Input (MP36/35 only)

Use the DC Input to connect a battery, AC/DC converter or other power supply to the MP36/35.

The power supply requirements for the MP36/35 are 12 VDC @ 1 Amp. Only use the AC300A

power adapter with the MP36/35. The AC300A is a 12 VDC @ 1.25 Amp power supply adapter that can

connect to any mains rated as 100-250 VAC @ 50/60Hz, 40VA.

The receptacle is configured to accept a “+” (positive) input in the center of the connector and a “-”

(negative) input on the connector housing.

Fuse Holder (MP36/35 only)

The fuse holder contains a fast-blow fuse that helps protect the MP36/35 from shorts on its power, analog, and

digital I/O lines. The MP36/35 uses a 1.0 amp fast-blow fuse.

To remove the fuse, use a screwdriver to remove the fuse cover located below the word Fuse.

Power Switch (MP36/35 only)

ON position — powers up the MP Unit OFF position — cuts the flow of power

Cleaning Procedures

Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the power supply from the MP36/35 or unplug the MP45 USB cable from the

computer. To clean the MP36/35, use a damp, soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended as they might

damage the housing. Do not immerse the MP36/35 or any of its components in water (or any other fluid) or

expose to extreme temperatures as this can damage the unit.
