PATCHMASTER
PATCHMASTER is a multi-channel stimulation/acquisition software with programmable experiment control and automation, software Lock-in amplifier and Photometry/Imaging extension. PATCHMASTER supports all HEKA amplifiers and data acquisition hardware.
Patchmaster Versions
Software updates are available free of charge. If a "dongle" is not attached to the computer, then the programs will run in demo mode. It is strongly recommended that the Release Notes be reviewed before updating any software to avoid any compatibility issues.
PATCHMASTER version 2x92 is the latest release version and its data file is compatible with PATCHMASTER NEXT 1.3 or higher.
Please note:
- MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) or more recent MacOS do not support PATCHMASTER. If you further want to use PATCHMASTER, please do not update your OS. If you need to update, please contact us to get further information about the requirements to use PATCHMASTER NEXT for MacOS.
- Due to the new calibration record, it is not recommended to switch between PATCHMASTER 2x91 and older versions. Otherwise, a re-calibration of your amplifier is necessary every time you switch the software.
