m-pod works seamlessly with Magstim EGI GES / Net Amps systems.
m-pod is not a standalone product. It is used with StimTracker, Riponda (or earlier RB Series) response pads, or Lumina.
Here is how m-pod connects when combined with a Riponda response pad:
The response pad draws its power from your computer via USB. When a key is pressed, information is sent at the same time via USB to the computer and via m-pod to Net Amps.
The combination allows four different types of signals to be delivered to Net Station:
This provides an excellent value if these are all the signals that you need.
To avoid noisy signals, each of the eight output lines on m-pod for Magstim EGI is optically isolated, delivering a high quality signal.
A typical event marker is sent by changing the voltage on a wire from 0 to 5 volts. The signal wire and a ground wire connect sender and receiver directly:
Trouble arises when electrical “noise” is introduced, typically from nearby motors or fluorescent lighting. Optical isolation stops this noise in its tracks. It prevents electricity from flowing directly by illuminating an LED and placing a photosensor in front of it:
m-pod for Magstim EGI contains eight optical isolation chips, one for each line.
StimTracker offers more options than the combination of response pad + m-pod described above:
Additionally, with the StimTracker Quad model, you can:
Using m-pod with StimTracker is described on this page.
Events markers appear in Net Station software as DINs near the top of window.

For connecting to GES 300, 400, or newer systems, a Hypertronics-to-DB9 cable is required. This is typically including with your Magstim EGI installation. You can also order it from Cedrus.
To order StimTracker instead, see this page. All items can also be ordered from one of Cedrus’ international distributors.
