PAS-OF utilizes 16 x 16 photobeam configuration to track the subject’s path within an acrylic enclosure. The system can be configured with up to 16 stations with optional Rearing frames and optional Floor Pokes. This provides a system to monitor significant behaviors while testing large subject groups. The beam positioning works equally well for both rats and mice. Frames are vertically adjustable to accommodate different size subjects. The PAS-OF Control Unit connects via USB allowing laptops to run the PAS-OF System. PAS-OF utilizes a database to store all study results in a single file in table format ready for export. This eliminates the need to cut and paste multiple files together in order to export study results to statistical packages. PAS-OF accurately records and reports ambulation movements, fine movements, rearing (if option is present), pokes (if option is present) and time stamped (x,y) positions. PAS-OF additionally reports central vs. peripheral counts, zone entries time in zone, distance traveled, speed, and resting time. Powerful software features provide the ability to graphically view and play back the subject’s path in a choice of eight different speeds. photobeam activity system-open field components ›› Clear Acrylic Enclosure ›› 16 x 16 Photobeam Mounting Frame ›› Control Unit ›› Softwar
