Active Probes
Active SmartProbes have headstages in which signal amplification occurs before the signal is fed to
the CyberAmp. Support for the Electrode Test facility is generally not as straightforward as in
passive probes. There are two basic reasons for this. First, it is undesirable for most active probes to
have 1 M resistors connected to their inputs; this would decrease the input resistance and perhaps
degrade the noise performance. Second, there is no simple way to selectively ground one input while
measuring the resistance of the electrode on the other input. The circuitry to selectively ground the
positive or negative inputs resides in the CyberAmp and not in the probe.
Nevertheless, some provisions have been made to support an Electrode Test on the active probes. The
Electrode Test for some of these probes operates as follows:
1) AI 401, x10 amplifier probe
AI 402, x50 amplifier probe
AI 405, x10 amplifier probe
A test socket near the inputs is connected to a 1 M resistor that in turn is connected to the
signal called "Electrode Test". This signal is normally equal to ground. When the CyberAmp
Electrode Test is selected, the ground is replaced by the same 1 V
p-p
, 10 Hz square wave that
is used internally in the CyberAmp to test the electrode resistance.
To test the electrode resistance, the operator must connect the TEST jack output to one of the
inputs, leaving the electrode leads plugged into the input jacks. The clip lead provided with
the headstage is suitable for this purpose. The measured signal corresponds to electrode
resistance exactly as described above.
2) AI 40, x50 isolated amplifier probe
Two buttons are provided to independently connect the positive or the negative input of the
probe to a test current waveform. The waveform is isolated from ground.
To test the resistance of an electrode the operator simply pushes the button corresponding to
the electrode to be tested, and observes the resulting voltage response.
3) AI 403 picoammeter probe
This probe is intended for recording extremely small currents. The presence of permanently
connected test resistors at the input would severely degrade the noise performance.
A test socket near the inputs is connected via a 10 k protection resistor to the signal called
"Electrode Test". This signal is normally equal to ground. When the CyberAmp Electrode
Test is selected, the ground is replaced by the same 1 V
p-p
, 10 Hz square wave that is used
internally in the CyberAmp to test the electrode resistance.
During test mode, the signal on the test socket can be used to measure resistances greater than
1 G. That is, the headstage can be used as a sensitive ohmmeter for ultra-high impedance
resistors.
To test the electrode resistance, the operator must plug one end of the resistor into the input
jack and connect the other end of the resistor to the TEST jack, normally using the clip lead
provided with the headstage. The 1 V
p-p
, 10 Hz square wave drives a current through the
