Core--Instrumentation and software

本计划项目拨款(PPG)中提出的项目在生理和技术上都是复杂的。为了使个别调查人员能够专注于其项目的核心部分--科学，我们提议建立一个核心设施，为成功完成每个小组的具体目标提供必要的技术支持。将组成仪器和软件核心的人员小组已经是实验室的核心贡献者，在支持拟议的项目方面具有丰富的经验。仪器和软件核心的使命是为PPG的项目和核心实验室提供硬件和软件以及开发。该核心将用于电气和光学测绘项目和数值模拟研究，以及其他核心实验室。核心的具体职责如下：1.根据PPG调查人员的需要，支持和开发应用软件。2.支持和发展光学和电子测绘系统。3.管理PPG项目的局域网。4.为PPG中的电测绘研究提供电极。5.将现有的遥测系统扩展到新的传感器和功能。6.满足一般仪器的需求，包括专用刺激器、除颤器和数据采集系统。

The projects proposed in this Program Project Grant (PPG) are complex both physiologically and technically. In order to allow the individual investigators to concentrate on the science that is the central part of their projects, we propose to establish a core facility to provide technical support as needed for the successful completion of the specific aims of each individual groups. The group of people that will comprise the Instrumentation and Software Core are already central contributors to the laboratory with substantial experience in supporting the proposed project. The mission of the Instrumentation and Software Core is to provide hardware and software and development to the projects and core laboratories of this PPG. The core will be available to the electrical and optical mapping projects and the numerical modeling studies, as well as the other core laboratories. The specific responsibilities of the core will be as follows: 1. Support and develop application software as needed by PPG investigators. 2. Support and develop optical and electrical mapping systems. 3. Administer the local area network for the PPG projects. 4. Provide electrodes for electrical mapping studies in the PPG. 5. Extend the existing telemetry system to new sensors and capabilities. 6. Satisfy general instrumentation needs, including special purpose stimulators, defibrillators, and data acquisition system.
