2. Click the START button in the upper right corner to begin an acquisition session, which

starts with a prompt for a file name shown in Fig. 2. Mouse motion/pressure data will be

saved to this file for later processing. It is recommended that this file be given a

descriptive name that identifies the nature of the experiment or mice and the date the

experiment began. It is also recommended that NO extension be given to the file name,

since MouseRec adds its own extensions that are used in later programs (the bin extension

is given to the files with the raw sensor data). The software that analyzes data after the

experiment uses the base name to look for processed files and opens them automatically.

If they have different names and extensions, the automatic loading will not work and you

will be prompted to search for them with a file/directory navigator.

experiment.

3. Next the program prompts for the number of active channels with the dialog box shown

in Fig. 3. This is done so that only the necessary channels will be recorded. The

maximum number of channels is based on the DAQ capabilities and is listed in the

prompt. Type in the maximum number of channels if all cages are being used in the

experiment. If fewer channels than the maximum will be used, then the number of active

channels can be entered to save data file storage space. For example, if only four mice are

to be monitored in a single quad-cage unit (cages 1 to 4), then 4 should be entered as the

number of active channels. In this case the mice should be placed sequentially in the

cages (i.e. the first one in cage 1, the next in cage 2 …). If a cage needs to be skipped,

then enter the number of channels corresponding to the highest cage number containing a

mouse. For example if mice are in cages 1, 2, 5, and 6, then 6 should be entered for the

number of active channels. Channels 3 and 4 in this case will be recorded, but they will

contain only noise and should be marked as empty on the channel labels so they can be

ignored in future analyses.
