FEATURES
With ABET, hardware
address assignment is quick and easy.
Preprogrammed schedules
can be used for immediate testing and can also be
modified to meet your specific requirements.
Creating your own
schedules from scratch is made easy with the use of
Boolean algebraic equations.
The user can take
advantage of simultaneous schedule flow, sequential
schedule flow, or a combination of both.
Identical and/or
different schedules can be run on up to 16
environments simultaneously.
Visual indicators are
used to easily monitor each environment’s schedule
status.
Universal terminal
block connections allow ABET to be used with animal
hardware from most manufacturers.
Text-based,
comma-delimited data makes
importing results into
any analysis software quick and easy. |

The Animal Behavior
Environment Test System (ABET) is a fully integrated,
Microsoft WindowsTM -based program that allows for
flexible computerized control and monitoring of up to
16 environments. Compatible with virtually any animal
behavior equipment, the ABET software program provides
a user-friendly, point-and-click programming method to
create an unlimited number of schedules. ABET
eliminates your need to learn computer programming to
operate the system. All of the system options are
chosen through a series of pull-down windows, buttons,
and check boxes. |
|
Hardware assignment has
also been made quick and simple. All the user needs to
know is the interface number and the line the device
is wired into on the Input/Output module. Input and
output devices are referred to by their actual name,
such as "press bar" and "pellet dispenser". Testing
input and output devices for proper functionality,
prior to running schedules, is easy with the use of an
on-screen diagnostic program. |
|
Through the use of
Boolean algebraic equations, schedules become logical
representations of the
experiment protocol. This makes the system flexible
enough for even the most complex schedules, but easy
enough to learn in a matter of minutes.
