Getting Started > Amplifiers > Configuring Amplifier Support in WInWCP
To configure amplifier support select
Setup
Input Channels & Amplifiers
to open the Input Channels & Amplifiers Setup dialog box.
Select the Amplifiers tab and choose the amplifier to be configured (Amplifier #1 if only one amplifier is in use), then
select your type of amplifier in the amplifier list.
The amplifier configuration table shows the default primary and secondary input channels, voltage and current command
output channels and gain and mode telegraph input channels (if these are required by the amplifier).
The basic (at minimum gain) scaling factors and units for the current and voltage outputs and the current and voltage
command inputs are also displayed.
If required, the Gain and Voltage/current clamp mode telegraph inputs can be changed to another analog input
channel. However, if this is done, the physical connections between the amplifier and the laboratory interface must be
adjusted to match. Telegraphs can also be disabled by selecting Off as the input channel. When telegraphs are disabled,
gain and/or voltage/current clamp mode can be entered manually by the user.
If necessary, primary and secondary channel scaling factors, units, voltage- and current-clamp command scaling factors
can be altered by the user. This is most likely to be case for the command scaling factors where where a range of
division factors are available on most common patch clamp amplifiers. The default settings are set to the most commonly
