Molecular Devices Multiclamp 700A or 700B patch clamps are controlled via the Multiclamp Commander control panel software supplied with the amplifiers which can be used to set current and voltage channel gain and voltage/current-clamp mode.

 

Each Multiclamp 700 supports two separate amplifiers (Channel 1 and Channel 2) which requires two WinEDR amplifier channels to be defined.

 

When a Multiclamp 700 is in used, both Amplifier #1 and Amplifier #2 should be defined as Axon Multiclamp 700A/B.

 

 

 

(Note. If a second Multiclamp is in use, Amplifier#3 and Amplifier#4 should be  defined as Axon Multiclamp 700A/B.)

 

A communications link between the Multiclamp Commander control panel and WinEDR is automatically set up after both Multiclamp Commander and WinEDR programs are started, allowing WinEDR to determine current and voltage channel scaling factors and voltage/current-clamp mode for each amplifier channel.

 

Resetting the Multiclamp-WinEDR Communications Link

 

If Multiclamp Commander is stopped and restarted while WinEDR is running, communications between the programs can be lost. It can be reestablished by selecting
