dbWave is a data acquisition program interfaced  to Data Translation cards. It includes interactive routines to detect & sort spikes and the results can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet. In addition to these basic features, each time you acquire data, you give a description of your stimulus conditions which is stored into a database.  This allows us to work interactively on a series of recordings, filtering the recordings of interest. Collaborations for further developments are welcome. At the present time, we use dbWave (version 4,2008,0,23) developed under Visual Studio 2008 under MFC. click on the following links to download setup.exe and Setupv2008_dbWave.msi; then run "setup.exe". dbWave will be installed in "c:\Program Files\FMP\setup 2008_dbwave"; an icon to launch this program will be placed on the Desktop.

Main features:

• Data acquisition on 1 to 16 channels with simultaneous oscilloscope-like display and saving to fully documented files, using Data Translation data acquisition cards
• Multiple selection for file/open and work on list of files integrated into a database, with selectable criteria to define subsets of data.
• Spike detection, sorting with interactive procedures
• Data printing (for figures) and export to Excel.
