High Precision

Where timing precision is vital, you need c-pod. We packed it with a speedy 32-bit microprocessor, a separate, dedicated USB interface chip, and top quality USB drivers for your Mac and PC.

Turnkey Solution

We deliver c-pod ready to connect. The correct pin assignments. Mating connector. Matching TTL or analog signal. And where necessary, built-in optical isolation for the highest signal quality.

Analog Support

If your device accepts analog input (e.g. Nihon Kohden), we support that as well. The Analog c-pod model divides the voltage range into 8 or 16 and generates corresponding voltage levels with an excellent 1% precision.

The voltage range can be between 1 and 10 volts, easily set in software.

Dedicated USB interface chip for best timing.

Powerful 32-bit, 44-pin microprocessor with built-in flash memory.

“Set and Forget” Output

Asynchronous output distinguishes c-pod from all other products on the market.

In the past, software that wanted to send a 20ms long event marker had to pause running for 20ms. In fields like neuroscience and psychology, 20ms is forever. With c-pod, the software sends a command and proceeds – no pausing.

c-pod has even more advanced features, like a pulse scheduler and a pattern generator; see Specifications.

Software Support

c-pod enjoys extensive software support. Some packages can deliver jitter free performance.
