Controllers and Digital Input

HEADlab labCTRL II.1

labCTRL II.1: Second generation HEADlab controller for data concentration and synchronization with HEADlink 2.0

The powerful HEADlab controller labCTRL II.1 concentrates and synchronizes the data of the input and playback modules, supplies them with voltage and establishes the connection to the Windows PC, from which the HEADlab system can be conveniently configured and controlled. The enhanced HEADlink 2.0 data protocol offers twice the data rate of its predecessor. Thus, significantly higher sampling rates or channel numbers can be achieved.

labCTRL II.1 also offers other valuable innovations, such as native CAN FD support, as well as synchronization of multiple systems via GPS or LAN (PTP). A possibility for stand-alone recording (SAR) without a connected PC is given via the separate extension module labSAR I.0.

HEADlab labDX

labDX: Digital input module with CAN FD, FlexRay, HMS and pulse interfaces

labDX is a digital module with the following inputs: 2x CAN FD (labDX from version B) /CAN/OBD-II, 1 x FlexRay, 2x pulse inputs and an interface for a HMS III- or HMS IV-generation artificial head or for connecting a GPS receiver. The configurable pulse inputs facilitate a high maximum pulse rate.
