c-pod for EGI Net Station 5

This support document describes how to receive event markers Net Station version 5.x when using a c-pod. Make sure that your c‑pod firmware is using version 2.2.7 or later.

If you are using Net Station 4.x, please see this older support note.

Summary

c-pod for EGI is fitted with a DB9 connector. It is ready to plug into the GES 200 and GES 250, using the Net Amps 200. On the GES 300 and later systems, an additional “Hypertronics-to-DB9” cable is needed. EGI installations typically have this cable already, but if your does not, you can buy one from EGI or Cedrus’ store.

Setting Up Net Station

Net Station 5 can only record the onset of an event marker; it cannot record the offset. For example, when sending a 10ms pulse, you will see a DIN at the start of the pulse but none at the end.

Setting up Net Station 5 to work with c-pod is straightforward. Make sure that the setting “DINs 1-8” on the right side is set to “8 DINs”. In the screenshot below, in the upper part of the window, you can see event markers (DINs) being received periodically.
