Welcome to the Med Associates Behavioral Software and Products Catalog. This catalog is
designed around systems from starter to add-on packages for a variety of behavioral testing.
We assemble any selection of modular components and pride ourselves on the ability to
design and manufacture custom components to meet your exact research and testing
requirements. For more information and a listing of new products, please visit our website
at www.med-associates.com or request our catalog on CD. Stay current with experiments
in our lab and other relevant topics to Med Associates by receiving our quarterly electronic
newsletter, MedLines.
This catalog is organized into the following sections: test packages, components, power
control and interfaces, and software used to run and analyze your experiments. Most of
the systems listed in this catalog do not include a computer. Med Associates products
require one or two PCI slots, a USB connection, or some combination of these connections.
When you order a computer from Med Associates we install all interface cards and software
purchased at that time, making the set up of your new equipment go smoothly. The computer
specifications are updated regularly and an example of units shipped can be found in the
computer section and is current at the time of printing this catalog. Please check with
Med Associates if you wish to purchase your computer elsewhere to make sure it will
accommodate and run the software and hardware needed.

MED-307A-CT-B1 : Basic Mouse Drug Self Administration Test Package—MDF SAC, Classic Modular Test Chamber, Fixed Levers, Standard Pump
This basic package consists of our mouse classic modular test chamber with modified top allowing the drug delivery tether
to exit the chamber. This size was first proposed by Galen Wenger and Peter Dews. It has the advantage over our other
chamber sizes of a smaller area that provides less distractions for the mouse, thus improving shaping and performance.
The operant conditioning chamber is fitted with a house light, two stimulus lights, two ultra sensitive mouse fixed
response levers, and our pellet dispenser (20 mg). The 14 mg pellet dispenser (ENV-203-14P) is an available option
when a smaller dispenser is needed. In addition, the package includes our standard syringe pump with 3.33 RPM motor,
mouse drug delivery arm that supports the 25 gauge mouse swivel, a polysulfone button and spring that serves as the
leash/tether assembly, and 25 gauge drug delivery line. A deep MDF sound attenuating cubicle keeps the animal in the
operant conditioning chamber isolated from external disturbances. Order the MED-SYST-8 interface and software package
to run up to eight chambers, or the MED-SYST-16 to run up to sixteen chambers.

ENV-307A : Classic Mouse Modular Test Chamber
Med Associates is pleased to offer our classic mouse modular operant conditioning chamber. This size was first proposed by
Galen Wenger and Peter Dews. An advantage of this size over our other chamber sizes is the dimensions of the chamber have
been reduced to limit distractions for the mouse, thus improving shaping and performance.
This modular mouse chamber features three 1.5" (3.81 cm) wide channels on both end walls for easy and convenient placement
of any mouse modular accessory, including nose pokes, ultra sensitive standard or retractable levers, stimulus modules, and
reinforcement devices.
The cage unit is mounted on a durable, easily cleaned white polypropylene base. The front, back, and top are constructed of
0.22" (0.56 cm) polycarbonate. The front loading door of this unit folds down, leaving an extra high lip to restrain the animal
until removed. Order the grid floor (ENV-307A-GF) separately.

Several modular shuttle box packages are offered in this section for avoidance and learned helplessness studies. Each features
the modular shuttle chamber (ENV-010MC) with a single center panel designed to hold a stimulus light and tone stimulus. A
two-panel end wall is available in the dual channel modular shuttle box (ENV-010MD). This does not change the dimensions of
the chamber itself. The same modular box is used for rats and mice, the only difference being the floor and height of the photo-
beam sensors changes. The shuttle box can be purchased with a pivot floor, where the floor rests on a center pivot point.
The standard shuttle avoidance application supplied with the interface package (SOF-700RA-7) allows the user to define
the number of trials to run, the stimuli (tone, light or both), the avoid interval, the escape interval, optional CS/UCS
overlap, the option to punish ITI crossings and the maximum session duration. A row of data is created for each trial
with the trial number, an avoid or escape tag with the corresponding latency, left and right chamber activity, crossings,
and punished crossings. A summary file includes total values as well as the mean avoid and escape latency.
Please contact Sales if you have any questions on these packages or require assistance in designing a package to meet
your specific research requirements.
Interface, computer and software are sold separately.

sources, detect responses and general activity in the modular
shuttle box. The strips are adjustable in height to accommodate
either rat or mouse. These strips must be used with the eight channel
I/R control (ENV-253C). This control may be used with the four-
input SmartCtrl™ package (DIG-716P1) or eight-input SmartCtrl™ package (DIG-716P2). When using only four inputs,
pairs of beams are yoked to a single input with a Y-Cable (SG-216C). This approach is well suited to response detection
but may not prove adequate for activity measurements. With photobeam sensors and MED-PC® software, response
parameters may be clearly defined to prevent errant behaviors such as freezing in the middle and rocking a pivot floor
back and forth.

ENV-406AM : Shuttle Grid Floor Harness for Mouse
This shuttle grid floor harness is used with older style mouse shuttle box
floors (not recommended for use with the ENV-010MA-GF style floors).
Two harnesses are required per chamber for active avoidance. The
short pigtail harness terminates in a DB-9 connector. Order the
aversive stimulation output cable (SG-219G-10) separately.
Dimensions: 17.25" L x 2.5" H x 0.5" D (43.8 cm x 6.4 cm x 1.3 cm)
ENV-010MA-QD : Patented Quick Disconnect Shuttle Grid Floor Harness for Mouse
Applying scrambled foot aversive stimulation to the mouse modular shuttle chamber has never been easier. The connection
block stays attached to the back of the chamber, so that the floor may be removed for cleaning completely free of all wires,
circuit boards, or other connections. The connection block consists of two circuit boards that have individual spring-loaded
contacts mounted in a protective strip and wired in sequence to two DB-9 connectors. When the floor is installed each rod
presses firmly against a contact for reliable delivery. Order
two output cables (SG-219G-10) separately. Note, this harness
will not work with older floors. On the newer style stainless
steel mouse shuttle floors (ENV-010MA-GF) the rods extend
out further from the back of the grid floor then in the past,
allowing for a better connection into the quick disconnect
harness. See ENV-406AM for older floors.

The standard nose poke key is quickly becoming a staple fixture in rodent operant conditioning chambers however,
many researchers feel that standard nose poke devices lack fundamental elements that may be crucial to the conditioning
process. By simply poking its nose into a recessed entry well, the animal does not receive any tactile feedback that
might otherwise facilitate the shaping and learning process. With this limitation in mind Med Associates has developed
the rodent nose poke response keys.
Similar in design to our line of pigeon response keys (ENV-123, e.g.), the rodent response keys feature an opaque
plastic response key that can be backlit to provide enhanced visual cues.

ENV-275 : Olfactory Stimulus Package
This economical package includes everything needed to present olfactory stimuli to
a nose poke response or test chamber port (nose poke and port sold separately).
This includes two distribution manifolds, three solenoid valves, evaporation jars
with barbed fittings and check valves, and a coil of tubing for connecting these
components. The standard package uses two normally closed valves for the odor
lines and a normally open valve for fresh air. This maintains a continuous flow of
air at the nose poke port or at a bulkhead port if desired. By activating two valves
simultaneously, odor can be added to the air stream without altering the flow. In
this way the only stimulus is the odor, not the presence or absence of the airflow.
Operating controls and pumps sold separately. Also available with five manifolds
(ENV-275-5).
PHM-275 : Dilution Olfactometer
This dilution olfactometer comes with two channels and is expandable to eight
channels. It is designed to generate precise concentrations of up to eight separate
odors. Airflow to each vertical column saturator is controlled by a sensitive needle
valve and monitored by a calibrated flow meter. Valves activated by 28 V DC sole-
noids are used to mix odors and route airflow to the test chamber. This system is
suitable for odor discrimination tasks where flow control is critical, olfactory coding,
or any behavioral or neurophysiological study that uses odor as a stimulus.

MODEL DESCRIPTION:
ENV-115A-OF Rat Five Hole Nose Poke Wall with Stimulus Lights & Olfactory Ports
ENV-275-5 Five Station Olfactory Ports
Olfactory stimulus is available with the five nose poke wall with stimulus lights. This modified wall (ENV-115A-OF for
rat and ENV-115C-OF for mouse) allows individual olfactory stimulus in each nose poke. A pressurized laboratory air
supply or air pump (sold separately) provides air to each individual scent source. A check valve between the one-to-five
manifold and the scent source container prevents the mixing of scents when the system is not pressurized. A normally
closed valve prevents the scent stimulus from reaching the nose poke until the valve is activated. Only one scent source
is connected to each nose poke. Activation of the control valve allows the olfactory stimulus to be presented in the nose
poke. One or more of the valves may be activated at the same time depending on the protocol of the experiment. The
olfactory stimulus is removed from the nose poke cavity via an exhaust port located in the roof of the cavity. All five
nose pokes are connected to a five-into-one manifold that is to be connected to a vacuum pump (sold separately). This
system provides continuous evacuation of air from all five nose pokes simultaneously when connected to a vacuum
source. An extra grid rod which cannot be used for aversive stimulus has also been added to fill the gap formed by
the curved wall.
Interface, computer and software are sold separately.

This unit includes an 8 oz (236.6 mL) bottle and Lixit® valve to eliminate leakage at the
sipper tube. It may be used with direct sipper tube aversive stimulation or scrambled foot
aversive stimulation. Oversized reservoirs may be used with this unit for long term
studies without any change in performance. Force lickometry offers a completely differ-
ent way to monitor licking behavior that defines responses better than contact or pho-
tobeam lickometers by adding a second dependent variable, force or motivation, two
threshold levels are user-defined and the force lickometer signal is processed for counts
and time above each threshold as well as the sum of the points above threshold (area
under the curve/force). The range of force is 0 to 50 grams. The data for each bout is
stored in an ASCII file. This system consists of a precision force transducer and trans-
ducer amplifier that combined with an infrared head entry detector, further defines the
lick response. An adjustable threshold control determines when a lick count response
signal is issued. The head entry detector and lick response output may be connected
to any 28 V DC input. Due to the full size panel this unit can only be used in the extra
tall ENV-007 series of modular test chambers.
The force lickometer also requires a DIG-744 interface card, SG-506 power supply,
assorted cables and SOF-809 software application. Contact sales for additional information.
Dimensions: Panel: 3.0" W x 13.0" H (7.6 cm x 33.0 cm)
ENV-351W : Light Pipe Lickometer with Photobeam Controller for Mouse
This device for mouse was modeled after the traditional “light pipe” configuration. Two
glass pipes are positioned in front of the sipper tube to record beam breaks. This unit
may be preferred to the contact lickometer in applications using scrambled foot aversive
stimulation. It is mounted on a 1/2 size mouse modular panel.

Our volumetric drinking tubes are economical solutions that provide accurate and reliable measurements of water intake.
They are ideal for drug dosing, phenotyping, and general health monitoring. Two sizes available will handle daily water
consumption volumes from just a few milliliters up to 50 milliliters.
Drinking tubes feature high quality Lixit® valves to minimize problems associated with leaks. Two valve styles are available:
• Standard Lixit® valves, when cost is a factor.
• Deluxe Lixit® valves, featuring a Teflon gasket to prevent bedding from jamming the valve.
Both valve styles are highly resistant to leak problems and allow for accurate quantification of daily water intake. Standard
valves are easier for the animal to operate, and may be preferable for small mice, or animals that have a weaker lick.

ENV-203M-45 : Modular Pellet Dispenser; 45 mg for Rat
ENV-203-45 : Pedestal Mount Pellet Dispenser; 45 mg for Rat
Magazine type pellet dispensers as previously offered by the Ralph Gerbrands Co. and
others have proven their reliability over the years. This model features a quiet 28 V DC
stepper motor that has been tested repeatedly and found to deliver a whole pellet
virtually 100% of the time. Our dispenser is significantly better than any other tested,
including the original Gerbrands’ model. This large capacity magazine holds over 3000
45 mg pellets. The modular dispenser is mounted on a 1/4 size rat modular panel. All
new systems will be shipped with modular pellet dispensers (ENV-203M-45) unless
otherwise requested or in special applications where space does not permit the use
of the modular design, the pedestal style feeder will be substituted. When ordering
separately, specify modular (ENV-203M-45) or pedestal mount (ENV-203-45) as needed.
If audio feedback, like the original Gerbrands’ feeder is desired, order the response
feedback clicker module (ENV-135M).

ENV-203M-45IR : Modular Pellet Dispenser; 45 mg for Rat with Built-In Infrared Sentry
ENV-203-45IR : Pedestal Pellet Dispenser; 45 mg for Rat with Built-In Infrared Sentry
The concept of an infrared photobeam to detect and confirm the delivery of a pellet
was first developed by Med Associates for use with the one gram pellet and candy
dispenser. This feature has proven so effective that it is now offered on most of our
dispensers. It has been designed for those applications where pellet delivery is
absolutely necessary and a non-delivery alarm is desirable. A sensitive infrared photo-
beam detector has been added to the delivery tube of the dispenser. If pellet delivery
is not confirmed, a built-in microprocessor will repeat the delivery sequence up to five
times within 150 milliseconds. Five consecutive failures set an alarm signal line that
can be detected with any 28 V DC input card. The modular dispenser is mounted on a
1/4 size modular panel. Connection to the control box requires one input and one output.

ENV-253SD : Individual Infrared Source and Detector
Order as many of these IR pairs as needed to go with the four channel (ENV-253),
eight channel (ENV-256I-8), or sixteen channel (ENV-256I) controllers. This
item consists of two parts. The first is a single infrared light source housed in
a plastic cylinder with two holes for mounting screws and two-conductor cable.
The second is a single infrared detector, or receiver, housed in a similar plastic
cylinder with a three-conductor cable. Individual source and detector units may
be placed from 0.25" (0.6 cm) to 30.0" (76.2 cm) apart under most conditions.
Dimensions: 0.75" (1.9 cm) diameter x 0.5" (1.3 cm) deep
ENV-253 : Four Channel I/R Controller
This controller allows up to four pairs of source and detectors (ENV-253SD sold
separately) to be placed in a common area. It may be used with any 28 V DC
input card. It synchronizes a pulse stream emitted by each light source with
the activation of each detector at a very fast rate. Pulsing the light produces a
beam that is better focused and casts a sharper “shadow”. Synchronizing source
and detector at very high speed functions as a continuous beam, without inter-
ference from adjacent beams.
Dimensions: 4.0" W x 2.878" H x 1.5" D (10.2 cm x 7.3 cm x 3.8 cm)
ENV-256I : 16 Channel I/R Controller with Individual Sockets
ENV-256I-8 : 8 Channel I/R Controller with Individual Sockets
This controller is similar to the four channel I/R controller (ENV-253) except that
it has been expanded to either eight or sixteen channels and individual Molex®
connectors provide convenient connection of each individual infrared light source
and detector. This control is used with the TTL SuperPort™ input card (DIG-713A)
for the fastest possible response time. Order a cable (SG-210TTL) to complete
the connection between the controller and interface module. This unit is recom-
mended for interfacing mazes, runways, conditioned place preference chambers,
and multiple nose pokes to any MED-PC® behavioral test system.

This single-width module connects two solid state scramblers (ENV-412) to a single constant current
aversive stimulation source for shuttle avoidance and some yoked control designs. This is designed for
“either/or” aversive stimulation applications. If concurrent aversive stimulation is required for multiple
grids, separate constant current aversive stimulation sources are required to ensure optimum regulation.
Use the aversive stimulator control cable (SG-219SA) to connect this switch and an aversive stimulation
module (ENV-410B) to any 28 V DC output. Three outputs are required, one to select scrambler “A”,
one to select scrambler “B”, and one to the control aversive stimulation.
Dimensions: 0.875" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D (2.2 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)
ENV-414 : Aversive Stimulator/Scrambler Module
This module combines the dual range constant current aversive stimulation source (ENV-410B) and solid state
grid floor scrambler (ENV-412) on a double-width module. For those applications requiring only scrambled
foot aversive stimulation, this module saves money in two ways. First, the combined module is less expensive
than the individual modules. Second, it is now possible to place four units in the tabletop cabinet (SG-6080C).
Use a cable (SG-216A-10) with male to female Molex® connectors to connect each of these modules to a 28 V
DC output for computer controlled stimulation.
Dimensions: 1.75" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D (4.5 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)
Special Note: A cable (SG-219G-10) must also be used with this product and is sold separately.
ENV-410B : Dual Range Constant Current Aversive Stimulation Source
This aversive stimulation module is designed to provide constant current stimulation. Use this unit for direct
aversive stimulation output or with the solid state grid floor scrambler (ENV-412) for scrambled foot aversive
stimulation. Output is adjustable in two ranges from 0 to 1 or 0 to 5 mA using a two position range switch
and an adjustment knob. The current is shown on the digital display. The resolution of the scale is 0.01 mA.
Other features include a dummy load/subject switch, LED indicator, front panel operate, precision digital
meter, and optically isolated zero crossover activation. Use with interface and module cabinets. Remote
activation requires 28 V DC. The panel size is double width.
Dimensions: 1.75" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D (4.5 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)
Special Note: Use a cable (SG-216A-10) with Molex® connectors to connect to any 28 V DC output; sold separately.
Higher current aversive stimulators may be ordered. Contact Sales for more information.
ENV-412 : Solid State Grid Floor Scrambler
This single width module provides nine unique outputs at a DB-9 connector. Each output is a direct
semiconductor switch so that the current level remains the same regardless of the number of grids
contacted or even if contact is broken. The scrambler frequency is 30 Hz. Use with aversive stimulator
modules (ENV-410B or ENV-413).

The Quick Connect System is made up of connections featuring Luer fittings.
These fittings provide secure connections between components, and they can
be easily attached and detached. The Luered connectors facilitate detaching
an animal, and they minimize manipulations so that infections can be avoided.
Swivels allow free rotation, preventing catheter twisting and kinking. The teth-
er has built-in tubing that is enclosed in a stainless steel shield to protect the
tubing from chewing or clawing. The harness attaches to the vascular (or other)
catheter via a stainless steel stub. There are two types of packages: one with
the delivery tubing going from the swivel to the pump (PHM-119B-23-D or
PHM-119B-21-D), and one without the delivery tubing (PHM-119B-23 or
PHM-119B-23). Both packages are available in 21 or 23 gauge.

0.1 seconds and 99.9 seconds in 1/10-second increments. Timing duration is
user selectable via front panel three-digit push buttons. The timing cycle can
be initiated by using either the START button on the front of the unit, or by
sending the timer as an operate signal from our MED-PC® software. The out-
put of the timer is a standard 28 volt output. Typical applications for this unit
include the timed control (on duration) of a stimulus light, drug infusion
pump, or aversive stimulator.
Dimensions: 5.0" W x 5.0" D x 1.75" H (12.7 cm x 12.7 cm x 4.4 cm)
87802.527.2343www.med-assoc iates .com
This is our most popular pump — thousands have been successfully used for self administration studies. The standard speed
of this pump is 3.33 RPM but other motors are available and can be changed by the user. It is activated by a MED-PC® 28 volt
output and turned on as long as the output is on. Thus the time on determines the dose. A safety stop switch disconnects
power from the motor when the end of the syringe has been reached.
INFUSION RATES
This pump can accommodate plastic or glass syringes ranging from a 50 cc syringe to a microliter syringe. Listed below are
the stock motors and their corresponding flow rates for a Multifit syringe. Other motor speeds may be specially ordered. To
determine flow rates with other syringes, a calibration sheet is included with every pump.

PHM-100VSDT : Variable Speed Pump with Digital Timer
This pump was designed for those unique applications where an animal is dosed to effect, for
example when working with anti-convulsant drugs. Just as with the variable speed syringe
pump (PHM-100VS), thumb-wheel switches set infusion rate and maximum infusion time.
The pump is manually activated from the front panel. At the same time, a digital timer
starts timing the infusion. A small hand held button is used to stop the pump and
the timer. This allows the researcher to focus on the animal while the infusion is
being accurately timed. The infusion time is displayed to the nearest 0.01
seconds. A calibration table showing infusion rates for popular syringe
types is provided with the pump.

This single speed safety syringe pump has been provided as an alternative to the single speed syringe pump (PHM-100)
to provide extra safety from an overdose. The input circuit allows the user to select the maximum dose time from 1 to 99
seconds. In addition, the output circuit has two redundant on control circuits to compensate for a failure. The standard
rate is 3.33 RPM, but other motors are available and can be changed by the user.
This pump is activated by a MED-PC® 28 volt output and is turned on as long as the output is on. Thus the time on determines
the dose. A safety stop switch disconnects power from the motor when the end of the syringe has been reached.

INFUSION RATES
This pump can accommodate plastic or glass syringes ranging from a 50 cc syringe to a
microliter syringe. Listed below are the stock motors and their corresponding flow rates
for a Multifit syringe. Other motor speeds may be specially ordered. To determine flow
rates with other syringes, a calibration sheet is included with every pump.
This intra-cranial pump is a head mounted nanoliter injection system for delivering compounds directly into a rat brain.
The pump is mounted on the animal’s head so that the animal may move freely, since a swivel supports the pump. The
short distance between the pump and the animal’s brain allows the system to deliver constant volumes. The pump is
controlled by a stepper motor either manually or through MED-PC®. Reliable infusion volumes of as low as 50 nanoliters
can be delivered.

been found to facilitate shaping and improve response stability when used with
response devices that have minimal or no auditory component such as: pecking
keys, nose poke holes, or ultra sensitive levers. It is also useful as a secondary
reinforcer with the virtually silent pellet dispensers currently offered. Use soft-
ware control to produce click frequencies for discriminative stimuli other than
pure tones.
Dimensions: Panel: 3.0" W x 4.875" H (7.6 cm x 12.4 cm)
ENV-205M : Grain Feeder for Pigeons
The pigeon grain feeder is mounted on a 1/2 size rat modular panel and features
a 28 V DC solenoid activated hopper that is designed to insure reliable delivery
of grain to the bird. A built in light illuminates the large receptacle area whenever
grain is accessible. A single control line activates both the hopper and light. The
clear plastic hopper is easily removed for cleaning. All sharp metal edges that
may cause damage to the birds beak have been removed from the hopper and
the receptacle area.
This unit is supplied with two receptacle bases. The standard base (ENV-205-06),
is 0.375" (1 cm) thick with a 0.50" (1.3 cm) hole that is tapered 100 degrees to
produce a 1.188" (3.0 cm) opening at the top. This is designed to permit average
sized birds access to grain only when the hopper is in the “up” position. A second
base (ENV-205-06A) is 0.75" (1.9 cm) thick is recommended for birds with longer
beaks. Although the hole size is the same at the bottom, the taper now produces
a 2.0" (5.1 cm) opening at the top. For birds with thick beaks, the 0.5" (1.3 cm)
hole at the bottom can be drilled out as needed.
Dimensions: Panel: 3.0" W x 6.5" H (7.6 cm x 16.5 cm)

DIG-700P2 : Interface Connection Package—PCI
This interface connection package is required to connect the tabletop interface
cabinets (SG-6080D and SG-6510D) to most Windows® compatible computers
that have an open PCI slot and MED-PC® IV software installed. This package
includes: one interface card to be installed into the open PCI slot of the
computer (DIG-704PCI), one decode card which would be installed into the
tabletop cabinet. This decode card sends the signals from the corresponding
interface cards also installed in the tabletop cabinet, such as SmartCtrl™
interface cards, to the computer via a ribbon cable (DIG-700C) which is also
included in this package.

DIG-716P1 : SmartCtrl™ 4 Input/8 Output Package
This basic SmartCtrl™ package includes one interface module (DIG-716),
connection panel (SG-716), control cable (SG-210CB) and power cable.
A 25' (7.6 m) power cable (SG-210CP-25) is supplied for the first test
station in each group of four. Subsequent stations are daisy chained
together with 8' (2.4 m) cables (SG-210CP-8) and are sold separately.
Additional cables may be added or substituted on request.
The SmartCtrl™ system has virtually eliminated all other interface modules because it is the most convenient and easiest
to expand, and is quickly becoming the least expensive interface choice for most operant test chamber systems. Med
Associates is the only company to offer a full line of standard modules, SuperPort™ modules, and special purpose couplers
and control modules to complement the SmartCtrl™ system. The key to the SmartCtrl™ module is that it places both
inputs and outputs on a single width module measuring less than one inch (2.5 cm) wide. Up to eight modules controlling
eight independent chambers can be placed in the small tabletop cabinet and power supply (SG-6080D) or up to sixteen
modules in the large tabletop cabinet and power supply (SG-6510D). A corresponding connection panel mounts directly
to the chamber base for easy connection of all chamber components and accessories, while one or more universal data
cables and a power cable complete the connection.

DIG-711A : Standard 8 Input Module
This standard 8 input module contains eight optically isolated input lines, each with a small status
indicator lamp. It features screw terminal connections for normally open switches operating from
a 24 to 28 V DC power supply. It also includes jumper settings to invert the input function for
normally closed switches.
Dimensions: 0.875" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D (2.2 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)
INPUT MODULES
Any of these input modules may be set to pulse (also know as transition mode) or level mode of operation. In the pulse
mode, switch closures are filtered, contact debounced and latched. A single switch closure sets a latch on the card that
is held until read and reset by the computer. In the level mode, only an input that is present when the card is read is
recognized. With MED-PC® IV, and Schedule Manager™ software, the level mode produces a count every interrupt (typically
10 ms) for as long as the input “switch” is closed. In general, use pulse mode with response levers or keys to increment
a single count for each response, and use level mode with photobeams and nose pokes to determine how long the beam
is interrupted or to define beam breaks with specific time values.
DIG-712 : SuperPort™ 16 Input Module
This SuperPort™ 16 input module contains sixteen optically isolated input lines for both
normally open and normally closed switches wired to a single DB-25 connector. Use this

DB-25 connector.
Dimensions: 0.875" W x 5.25" H x 7.25" D (2.2 cm x 13.3 cm x 18.4 cm)
OUTPUT MODULES
DIG-721 : Standard 8 Output Module
This single width standard 8 output module provides eight 3 A DC drivers designed to activate a
28 V DC device by providing the ground (-28 V) signal. Each output is optically isolated to protect
the computer from external noise in the peripheral power supply or environment. Connections are
made on a convenient front panel terminal strip. Eight adjacent indicator lamps report the status
of each output.
Pulse or level modes of operation are selected with individual jumpers for each output. In the level
mode, outputs turned on by the computer remain on until turned off by the computer. In pulse
mode, outputs remain on for a user-defined duration (from 40 milliseconds to 4 seconds). The
hardware timers are set with a screwdriver through an opening in the front panel for each output.

Although some manufacturers may try, it is difficult to compare any other system to MED-PC® and other software
products developed by Med Associates. Having stood the test of time, MedState Notation™ continues to be the
choice of more laboratories than any other behavioral control language. The simple fact of the matter is that
MedState Notation™ works. It does exactly what is contained in written
text just like any other programming language. It is not necessary
to review countless tables to determine which options are set under
which conditions. MedState Notation™ uses simple commands whose
functions are inherently recognizable and easy to learn (e.g., ON,
OFF, SHOW, ADD, IF, and SET). Placing these commands into logically
ordered text gives the user total flexibility over the control of chamb er
components, stimuli, and reward mechanisms, as well as data
variables and arrays. A well written procedure is a permanent record
of the experimental protocol. It can be easily reviewed years later
for modification or used as is by other investigators. Many standard
procedures have already been written and are described at the end
of this section.
Four separate applications make up the MED-PC® package. Each is designed to handle a specific task as easily
and transparently as possible.
MedTest verifies hardware function independent of MED-PC®. This includes an interface card test, a test for the
Programmable Audio Generator (ANL-926), and tests for SmartCtrl™ interface modules (DIG-716B test shown),
standard modules, and SuperPort™ modules.

Trans IV translates and compiles selected MedState Notation™ procedures into DLL files that may be executed by MED-PC®. This
application also serves as a text editor with a detailed help index to MedState Notation™ programming. Error checking code activated
during translation clearly points to simple format type errors.
Hardware Configuration is used to build a configuration file that tells MED-PC® how many boxes are connected, how many inputs and
outputs are available to each box, and how are they identified. This utility guides the user step by step through this procedure. It is
used to set or update such user controlled parameters as file format, automatic file naming strategy and structure, automatic back up
frequency, and data file path.
MED-PC® IV is the run time or operating system of MED-PC®. It lets the user run up to 16 test chambers with up to 1 million data
elements per chamber. A single test chamber could have up to 80 inputs and 80 outputs. Interface cabinets for 8 or 16 modules are
available. Modules with 8, 12, 16, or 24 inputs/outputs in various combinations are available. A few of the MED-PC® IV screens and
features are illustrated below.
The MED-PC® IV Load Wizard is specially designed for first time users. It takes the operator through a series of screens for loading and
starting one or more boxes. This can be most helpful when first learning the MED-PC® system. This feature may be disabled at any
time, and boxes may be loaded from file menu selections, buttons on the tool bar, or customized macros with optional user-defined
dialog boxes for the operator.
STEP 1 Select a Box
STEP 2 Select a Procedure
Note: There is no limit to the number of procedures
that may be stored in the MPC directory; however,
the number displayed in this window can be easily
managed with Trans IV.
STEP 3 Add Optional IDs, a Comment Line, andCustom File Name, if desired
130
STEP 4 Review Choices
STEP 5 Enter User Defined Variable Values
STEP 6 Repeat Steps 1–5
When box selection is completed, the wizard will proceed to
the run time screen with or without issuing a start command.
The Run Time Display is, in many ways, similar to earlier
versions of Windows MED-PC® (WMPC™) and will be easily
recognized by seasoned users. The screen is divided into a
Status Area, displaying the subject, group, and experiment
information, time loaded, and procedure loaded for each box;
the Output Area, displaying the status of all outputs; and the
Show Area, displaying user-defined information on the experi-
ment. The major improvements to the run time display are
that each of these areas may now be individually sized with
user selected background and font colors, the output area will
now display up to 80 outputs per box, and the show area can
now display up to 200 data elements with “what you see is
what you get” labeling from MedState Notation™.

OS Compatibility: Windows 95/98, NT, 2000, XP and 32 bit Vista — For All MED-PC ® Users
INTRODUCING MPC2XL
The purpose of this program is to create a fast and easy system for transferring the contents of MED-PC® data files to
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, Microsoft Access databases, statistical programs, or virtually any other target. The editor lets
you create a “profile” or template for the layout of transferred data. After a profile is created and saved, the profile can then
be used to automatically transfer data to Excel or other targets. The creation of profiles is highly automated, yet very flexible. No
programming is required. Any MED-PC® data file may be transferred, regardless of the file naming scheme or the internal file format.
There are two basic types of profiles that may be created. One is referred to as a row profile, and the other is known as
a table profile. Row profiles organize the data from a session into a single spreadsheet row or column, table profiles create
multiple rows and columns.
CREATING AND EDITING ROW PROFILES
Row profiles transfer data to Excel on a row-by-row basis. Every session that is transferred to Excel becomes a row in the
spreadsheet. Excel spreadsheets are limited to 256 columns, but the number of rows is practically unlimited. The profile gener-
ator which may be easily edited as needed, automatically creates a sample profile. This format is useful for organizing data
from many sessions so that summary statistics may be organized for analysis (shown at right). Formulas for summary statistics
may be placed directly in the profile so the results are present the instant the data are transferred.
CREATING AND EDITING TABLE PROFILES
Table profiles may be used in a variety of ways to transfer data in a tabular format to Excel. Table profiles provide a great
deal of flexibility, but are not created automatically from sample MED-PC® data files in the same fashion as row profiles.
There are three basic types of tables that can be created using the table editor: a freestyle table, a table style table, and
a record style table.

FREESTYLE TABLES
The simplest table is a “Freestyle” report that may be created by
clicking the “Freestyle” button which creates a blank table. The right click
menu may be used to paste special identifiers into profiles. The are two
types of identifiers. One type corresponds directly to data retrieved from
MED-PC® data files. This includes the box and subject numbers and the
year in which the session was started. The second type of identifier begins
with an exclamation point and is constructed by MPC2XL from other identi-
fiers. For example, !StartDate and !EndDate concatenate year, month and
day into a single number, expressed YYYYMMDD format. For example,
July 3, 1998 would be expressed as 19980703, depending upon whether
the MSN code used to generate the data file contained the Y2KCOMPLIANT directive. The !CondensedStartTime and !Condensed-
EndTime functions create a single number reflecting HHMMSS. For example, 10:14:32 would be expressed as 101432.
Descriptive labels are not automatically entered for identifiers. This allows you to place a descriptive label (or even no label)
wherever desired. Figure 2 is an example of a spreadsheet created with the freestyle profile.
TABLE STYLE TABLES
The table profile style was designed to present
trial-oriented data along with session identifying infor-
mation (shown at right). Clicking the “Create Table”
button creates this type of table. Session identifiers, as
well as data, may be placed in the “Header Titles” and
"Header Elements" rows. “Header Titles” may bear the
same name as a data element or they may be different.
A key aspect of data tables is the ability to systematically extract data from an array variable without the need to explicitly
type in every data element that should appear in the table. This facility is ideal for creating tables displaying the results of
trial-oriented sessions. Figure 3 displays data from a “delayed non-match to sample” protocol. This hypothetical session con-
sists of five trials. For each trial, eight entries were made into array “A”: the trial number, trial duration, delay value, response
tags, counts and latencies.
RECORD STYLE TABLES
Record tables are designed to transfer trial-oriented data to Excel with adequate descriptive information in each row so that
the data in each row stands as an independent record. For example, including subject and date information in each row with
trial data allows one to sort or to analyze all of the data for an entire experiment by these elements, perhaps broken down by
ranges of dates or by subject subgroups.
The key to producing this type of data structure is to place session identifiers, such as “Subject,” in the first few columns of
the table, leaving the “Increment” and “Last Column Element” fields blank. The remaining columns contain data elements for
each trial. This results in the identifier and data information being present in every row. Note that the “transfer labels” option
should be unchecked when the data is transferred, except for the first time that data are transferred to a given sheet. This will
ensure that only data are transferred once a header row has been placed in the spreadsheet.

SOF-722 : So f tC r -PRO™— CUMULAT IVE RECORD GRAPHICAL SOFTWARE
OS Compatibility: Windows® 2000, XP and 32 bit Vista
Our new version of SoftCr™, SoftCr Pro™, is fully compatible with MED-PC® IV Build 51 and higher, (SOF-735) Schedule
Manager™ (SOF-706), and SmartCr™ (SOF-726). Like the original SoftCr™ (SOF-721), it can display and/or print partial
or complete cumulative records from data files created by the MED-PC®, Schedule Manager™ or SmartCr™ systems. One
significant improvement is cumulative records can be viewed on the same computer that is running MED-PC®.
SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS
• Generates cumulative records in near real time on the same computer that is running MED-PC®
• Can be set up to generate records on networked computers —watch an experiment in progress in the lab from the
compute in your office.
• Dynamic, on-screen scaling of the Y-axis and scrolling along the X-axis allow the user to focus on critical time periods
of the cumulative record. At any time while reviewing a record, the user may print the screen or the entire record.
• Easy-to-use menus respond to keyboard entries, function keys, and mouse point-and-click commands.
• Displays up to 10 event pens that independently track responses and reinforcing events. Event pens may be used
to mark a response, the beginning and end of code segments or stimulus durations.
• The edit parameters function allows the user to customize the display to best represent the features of the experiment.
Sof tCr-PRO™ FEATURES:
• Generate real time cumulative records on the same computer that is running MED-PC®
• The ability to turn on or off trace lines and event pens. This allows the user to focus only on the data
that are of the most importance.

OS Compatibility: Windows® 98*, 2000 and XP
The latest version of SoftCr™ is fully compatible with MED-PC® IV, (SOF-735) Schedule Manager™ (SOF-706), and SmartCr™
(SOF-726). Like previous versions it can display and/or print partial or complete cumulative records from IRT data files
created by the MED-PC®, Schedule Manager™ or SmartCr™ systems. One significant improvement is a multi-trace feature
that permits up to ten individual traces on the same X-Y axis with up to 10 event lines.
SoftCr™ is compatible with four data formats. It features improved
manipulation of data files, an automatic pop-up window for setting
graph parameters, on screen menu options, sharper graphics and faster
printouts on a wider variety of operating systems. Since the printing
of large graphics files can be time consuming, SoftCr™ includes a user-
friendly batch print utility. The total time required to select, display,
and print all records is affected by the speed of the processor, access
time of the hard drive, and speed and memory of the printer.
• Dynamic, on-screen scaling of the Y-axis and scrolling along
the X-axis allow the user to focus on critical time periods of the
cumulative record. At any time while reviewing a record, the user
may print the screen or the entire record.
• Easy-to-use menus respond to keyboard entries, function keys, and mouse point-and-click commands.
• Displays up to 10 event pens that independently track responses and reinforcing events. Event pens may be used
to mark a response, the beginning and end of code segments or stimulus durations.
• The edit parameters function allows the user to customize the display to best represent the features of the experiment.

• The ability to turn on or off trace lines and event pens. This allows the user to focus only on the data that are
of the most importance.
• The X and Y Axis can be set to either the standard Axis with Tick Marks or to a Scale that defines a specific time
interval. Screen shots can now be saved as either a Windows Meta File (WMF) or a PDF file along with the original
Bitmap option. The WMF* and PDF option allows the user to zoom in or out of the document without a loss
in resolution.
• Graphs can now be printed to SoftCr™’s own PDF printer. This can save on paper and makes the graphs easily
portable to other presentation files or web pages.
• The batch print utility option may also use the SoftCr™ PDF printer with each record being saved to its own
unique file.
* Large WMF files may not work with Windows 98.
V E R S I O N 4 . 0 N E W F E A T U R E S
Great for producing cumulative records used as publication-quality
figures (CR shown was exported as a WMF from SoftCr™ and final
layout was produced in Adobe Illustrator).
Med Associates has always offered MedState Notation™ code for those users who want to collect data immediately,
without first learning this popular text-based language. Several of the more popular procedures resulted in inexpensive,
standard catalog items. With the expanded features of MED-PC® IV, we can now offer off-the-shelf MedState Notation™
source code that runs like an advanced custom application. The user will still have the ability to modify and/or expand
upon the basic code; however, an operator having absolutely no programming skills may run the procedure and change key
control parameters. The combination of MED-PC® IV with a ready-to-run procedure produces the first behavioral control
system that truly requires no programming-not even table programming, which may at first appear simple, but inevitably
becomes more complex than a text based language such as MED-PC® IV.
SOF-700LA-1 : MedLab® 8 Package
This set of eight schedules, FR, FI, VR, VI, RR, RI, DISC, and CHAIN, was written for operant chambers with minimum
configurations. Each MedState Notation™ procedure can be modified by the user to meet specific hardware or research
requirements. This package is a useful supplement to the sample programs included with MED-PC®, with state sets for
session timing, response counting, and for creating IRT and event time arrays for a SoftCr™ cumulative record.

SOF-700LA-2 : Operant-Conditioning Lab Package
This package consists of five MedState Notation™ procedures that are well suited for a research or student lab.
Dr. Steven Dworkin designed these procedures. The procedures are for the following schedules:
• Fixed Ratio (FR x)
• Fixed Interval (FI x)
• Differential Reinforcement of Zero Responding (DRO)
• Inter-Response Time Less (IRT < x)
• Inter-Response Time Greater (IRT > x)
The procedures all make use of MED-PC® IV’s named variables to make running and modifying the schedules
very straightforward. For example, the Fixed Interval procedure uses the following named variables:
• Correct Lever (L=1 R=2)
• Reward (Pellet=1 Dipper=2 Drug=3)
• Reward Time (sec)
• Time Out Following Reward (sec)
• Session Time (min)
• Fixed Interval Value
• Maximum Reinforcers
• SoftCr™ Data Array (Yes=1 No=0)
The trial data are conveniently stored in an array that prints out in a one row per trial format. Similar data are
collected in all the procedures. For example, the data collected in the fixed interval procedure include:
• Total Responses
• Correct Response Count
• Incorrect Response Count
• % Correct
• % Incorrect
• Trial Number
• Correct Responses
• Incorrect Responses
• Pause Time (sec)
• Run Time (sec)

SOF-700RA-1 : FR Training Procedure
Install the FR Training Procedure and the Load Wizard presents a detailed list of session parameters. From this window,
the user may select the left or right lever for reward, select an appropriate dispenser and reward time out if desired,
determine the session time and ratio value, and turn the optional cumulative record data collection feature on or off.
The default settings shown make the left lever correct with pellet reward. The dispenser is activated for 50 ms. Session
time runs for 60 minutes with a fixed ratio of 1 and the SoftCr™ data array is activated. Any of these parameters may
be easily changed to accommodate a number of standard operant and drug discrimination procedures.

SOF-700RA-2 : Progressive Ratio
Select the Progressive Ratio procedure and the Load Wizard presents a detailed list of session parameters. From
this window, the user may select the left or right lever for reward, select an appropriate device for dispensing the
reward and the reward time, set a time out following the reward if desired, set the session time, select between a
step or list progressive ratio, set the starting value and step value for a step progressive ratio, set the progressive
ratio frequency, and turn the optional cumulative record data collection feature on or off. Any of these parameters
may be easily changed to accommodate a number of progressive ratio procedures.

SOF-700RA-5 : Intra-cranial Self Stimulation (ICSS) Procedures
The following procedures have been replicated in MedState Notation™ code to run on MED-PC® IV Behavioral Control
Systems. This source code may be used as is, or modified by the user to meet specific research demands. REWARD.mpc
is a discrete trial method of ICSS threshold measurement written originally for Dr. Conan Kornetsky, Boston University,
School of Medicine. Five trial blocks are presented in descending order until the animal meets an established criteria
followed by five trial blocks in ascending order. The default number of columns run in this manner is four. In the
REWARD MPC procedure, contingent and non-contingent stimulations are equal. DETECTION.mpc holds the rewarding
or response-contingent stimulation constant. Both are described in Kornetsky, Conan and Bain, George, Modern Methods
in Pharmacology, Vol. 6, Testing and Evaluation of Drugs of Abuse, Brain-Stimulation Reward: A Model for Drug-Induced
Euphoria, pp. 211-231.
Custom MedState Notation™ is also available. For example, a stepwise titration of frequency procedure was written similar to:
J.L. Moreau, F. Jenck, J.R. Martin, P. Mortas and W.E. Haefely, European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2, (1992), pp. 43-49.
This is an FR1 schedule that holds current constant while frequency steps from 70 Hz to 30 Hz and back again in 10 Hz steps
every two minutes. Another example is an autotitration of current procedure that holds frequency constant similar to:
Geoffrey K. Mumford, Darryl B. Neill, and Stephen G. Holtzman, Brain Research, 459 (1988), pp. 163-167.
This procedure requires two active levers. Starting current is set individually for each animal. One lever delivers stimulation
that decreases 3 µA following every fifth reinforcement. The second lever resets the amplitude value back to the original
starting current.
142
SOF-700RA-7 : Shuttle Source Code Packages
The shuttle source code package includes programs for active, passive, and active avoidance FR-2 procedures.
ACTIVE
The Shuttle Box Active Avoidance procedure is written for systems with eight I/R photobeam sensors, separate left and
right light and tone, and either with or without an auto guillotine door. By default, each trial presents both stimuli for
five seconds followed by a maximum 25 second aversive stimulation escape interval while the stimuli remain on. The
mean ITI interval is 15 seconds and it presents 50 trials. The total session time is set at 60 minutes, however, given
the above parameters the test will always end in less than an hour.
Select the Shuttle Box Avoidance procedure and the Load Wizard presents a detailed list of session parameters. From
this window, the user may set the number of trials to run, select the stimuli to use, set the avoid and escape intervals,
enable the CS/UCS overlap and punish ITI crossings flags, and set the maximum session time.
A row of data is created for each trial with the trial number, an avoid or escape tag with corresponding latency, left and
right chamber activity, crossings, and punished crossings. A summary file includes total values as well as mean avoid
and escape latency.
PASSIVE
The Shuttle Box Passive Avoidance procedures
are written for systems with eight I/R photobeam
sensors. The training procedure features a 180 second
trial, measuring the activity on the light side, latency
to the dark side, aversive stimulation delay, and
aversive stimulation duration. The test procedure
also features a 180 second trial, measuring the
activity on the light side and the latency to the dark
side. No aversive stimulation is administered during
the test procedure.
Shuttle Box Active Avoidance FR-2
Shuttle Box Active Avoidance FR-2 program consists of five blocks. By default, the first block is a 5 minute acclimation
period, the second block is two FR-1 trials, the third block is a 20 minute observation period, the fourth block is three
FR-1 trials, and the fifth block is 25 FR-2 trials, however the duration of each block may be user defined. Setting the
duration of a block to zero will cause that block to be skipped, allowing the user to run an FR-2 program without any FR-1
trials or observation periods.
By default, each trial presents both stimuli for 5 seconds followed by a maximum 25-second aversive stimulus escape
interval while the stimuli remain on. The mean ITI is 15 seconds and the program has a maximum session of time of
60 minutes. The user can also select which stimuli to use, the avoid and escape times, enable the CS/UCS overlap, set
the session time, and enable punish ITI crossings.

All data collected includes trial count, FR value, avoids, avoid latency, escapes, escape latency, left movement, right
movement, crossings, and ITI aversive stimuli. Data is collected for each trial on a trial-by-trial basis, and summary data
is collected for total FR-1 and FR-2 trials.
SOF-700RA-11 : Shuttle Box Step Down Protocols
The Shuttle Box Step Down Protocols procedures are written for systems with eight I/R photobeam sensors. The
platform should be placed so the subject steps into the right side when stepping down off the platform. In the
training procedure, delay to aversive stimulation onset is 0.001" seconds, aversive stimulation duration is 2 seconds,
no response time is 180 seconds, and the inter-trial interval is 120 seconds. In the test procedure, no response time
is 180 seconds, and the inter-trial interval is 120 seconds. No aversive stimulation is used in the test procedure.
The data collected in both procedures are the trial numbers and the response latencies.

SOF-700RA-8 : Nine Choice Serial Reaction Time Task
In the Nine Choice Serial Reaction Time Task, the subject is required to respond to brief flashes of light presented
randomly in one of nine spatial locations. Testing begins with the onset of the house light and the pellet or dipper
receptacle light. A head entry issues a free reward presentation and initiates the session timer.
Following the reward interval, an ITI is activated for the first trial. Nose poking during the ITI results in a time out
and is recorded as a premature response. Stimulus time outs also occur following an incorrect response, or following
an error of omission (failure to respond within the limited hold interval).
By default this procedure runs for 90 trials or 30 minutes, starting with a fixed ITI interval of 5 seconds and fixed
stimulus presentation of 0.5 seconds. Both can be randomized by adding to the LIST statements in the MedState
Notation™ code.
The time to respond (limited hold) is 5 seconds and premature responses add a 5 second time out before repeating
the ITI. Incorrect responses or errors of omission also add a 5 second time out before starting a new trial. Responses
during the time out reset the time-out timer. Twenty elements of data are documented for each trial. Summary data
includes correct responses, incorrect responses, omissions, premature responses, perseverant responses, time out
responses, total receptacle head entries, percent correct, percent incorrect, percent omission, average latency to
correct responses, average latency to incorrect responses, and average latency to reward.

SOF-700RA-8A : Five Choice Serial Reaction Time Task
In the Five Choice Serial Reaction Time Task, the subject is required to respond to brief flashes of light presented ran-
domly in one of five spatial locations. Testing begins with the onset of the house light and the pellet or dipper receptacle
light. A head entry issues a free reward presentation and initiates the session timer.
Following the reward interval, an ITI is activated for the first trial. Nose poking during the ITI results in a time out and is
recorded as a premature response. Stimulus time outs also occur following an incorrect response, or following an error of
omission (failure to respond within the limited hold interval).
By default this procedure runs for 50 trials or 30 minutes, starting with a fixed ITI interval of 5 seconds and fixed stimulus
presentation of 0.5 seconds. Both can be randomized by adding to the LIST statements in the MedState Notation™ code.
The time to respond (limited hold) is 5 seconds and premature responses add a 5 second time out before repeating the
ITI. Incorrect responses or errors of omission also add a 5 second time out before starting a new trial. Responses during
the time out reset the time-out timer. Sixteen elements of data are documented for each trial. Summary data includes
correct responses, incorrect responses, omissions, premature responses, perseverant responses, time out responses,
total receptacle head entries, percent correct, percent incorrect, percent omission, average latency to correct responses,
average latency to incorrect responses, and average latency to reward.

SOF-700RA-10 : Drug Self Infusion
Select the Drug Self Infusion procedure and the Load Wizard presents a detailed list of session parameters. From this window,
the user may set the fixed ratio setting, session time, maximum number of infusions, a time out following the infusion if
desired, infusion time, and turn the optional cumulative record data collection feature on or off. Any of these parameters
may be easily changed to accommodate a number of drug self infusion procedures.
The default procedure has the right lever active, although data is collected on both levers. The house light is on throughout
the procedure, the stimulus light above the right lever is turned on when the procedure enters the fixed ratio component and
is turned off during the time out.
Data collected include the number of right and left lever responses during the fixed ratio, infusion, and time out, the time
in the fixed ratio, number of infusions, and the number of right lever responses per minute during the fixed ratio.

SOF-808 : Force Lever
The Force Lever Software receives voltage feedback from the lever. The range of this voltage is 0 V when there
is no force on the lever, to 10 V when the lever is pressed down completely. This voltage will be referred to as
a threshold value. The user may set the low, high and limit threshold values, as well as the maximum time to
complete response, minimum and maximum duration above high threshold and whether or not to reward partial
responses. The default session length is 10 minutes.

SOF-700RA-18 : Variable Schedule
This is a Variable Schedule program written for MED-PC® IV. Through a series of LIST statements the user
is allowed to select between Fixed Ratio (FR), Fixed Interval (FI), Variable Ratio (VR), and Variable Interval
(VI) Schedules to run. The LIST statements allow the user to select what the values for each schedule type
will be, how long each schedule/trial will run, how long the interval between each schedule/trial is, and
which Lever is the correct lever for that trial by use of the stimulus location. The correct lever and the
stimulus location must match.
For each trial there is a preCS and a CS period. The preCS and CS period are always the same length.
The correct response(s) on the correct lever during either period gives a reward. There is no reward given
during the Inter-Trial Interval (ITI) or the pre/post adapt periods. Any responses during the preCS period
are discarded when the CS period starts. So if the program is running an FR-10 schedule and the animal
has four responses when the program switches to the CS period, the four responses are discarded and the
animal must start over to meet the FR-10 schedule. The same schedule is run during the preCS and CS
periods (i.e. A VR-5 is run during the preCS and then restarted during the CS period).
SOF-700RA-22 : Lick Suppression
The Lick Suppression MED-PC® Application allows the animal to freely lick from the sipper tube. After
a certain number of licks (defined by the variable Fixed Ratio Value) the animal is given an aversive
stimulus. The duration of the aversive stimulus is user defined.

The included Schedule Manager routines allow researchers to teach students about key concepts in experimental analysis
of behavior.
By presenting a reinforcement every time a fixed number of responses are made, Fixed Ratio (FR) Schedules demonstrate
how response rates will vary when the subject has direct control over the rate of reinforcer presentation.
Fixed-Interval (FI) Schedules arrange for delivery of a reinforcer following the first response that occurs after the passage
of a fixed-specified time period. This type of schedule allows the experimenter to control the inter-reinforcement interval.
Variable-Ratio (VR) and Random-Ratio (RR) Schedules allow the researcher to vary the number of responses required to
deliver a reinforcer, either in a pre-defined manner (VR) or using a software random number generator (RR). These
schedules are usually associated with the highest rate of subject responses.
Variable-Interval (VI) and Random-Interval (RI) Schedules allow the researcher to vary the time period that must elapse
before the next response results in delivery of a reinforcer, either in a pre-defined manner (VI) or using a software random
number generator (RI). VI and RI schedules are usually associated with low response rates.

SOF-732-1 : Graphics Display Routines
OS Compatibility: Windows 2000, and XP and 32 Bit Vista
The MED-PC® Graphics Display Routines program can create up to 32 windows on 32 different monitors. The
program can only create one graphics window per monitor. Each graphics window is capable of showing one bitmap
or being flooded with one solid color. When a bitmap is displayed it is expanded to fill the entire window so if the
picture resolution (size/shape/location) is important, then the bitmap should be the same dimensions as the monitor.
Program functions allow the user to control when the graphics window is displayed and what bitmap/color is displayed
on the graphics window. This program is useful in cases where you want a specific visual stimulus to be displayed
on a computer screen.

SOF-732-2 : WAV File Player
OS Compatibility: Windows 2000, and XP and 32 Bit Vista
The WAV File Player allows for either positive or negative reinforcement using sound through the PC’s sound system (sound
card). The included program contains one negative reinforcement sound and five positive reinforcement sounds. The positive
reinforcement sound to be played is chosen randomly each time the animal gets a reward. The animal receives a reward on
a Fixed Ratio schedule. The user may select if the left or right lever is the correct lever. Program default values assign the
left lever as the correct lever, a Fixed Ratio value of 1, and a session time of 60 minutes.
The user can modify the program so that it plays their own WAV files rather than the ones provided with the program.
Furthermore, the program can be modified to use sound as a stimulus or reinforcer in many other ways. For example,
the user could set up a protocol to play a WAV file when the animal enters a specific side of a shuttle box.

require one or two PCI slots, a USB connection, or some combination of these connections.
When you order a computer from Med Associates we install all interface cards and software
purchased at that time, making the set up of your new equipment go smoothly. The computer
specifications are updated regularly and an example of units shipped can be found in the
computer section and is current at the time of printing this catalog. Please check with
Med Associates if you wish to purchase your computer elsewhere to make sure it will
accommodate and run the software and hardware needed.
