CHAPTER 3
Operation
Two output settings are available ‘DIRECT’ and ‘LPF’. LPF applies a low-pass filter to the output signal
with a cutoff frequency of 100 KHz for use as an anti-aliasing filter. The front panel has an access for the
calibration screw marked ‘CAL.’ This calibration screw adjusts the overall gain of the amplifier . The ANL-
940-1 has been pre-calibrated at the factory. Do not adjust the instrument gain if you will be using the
ANL-940-1 to quantify the actual amplitude (dB) of rodent vocalization. Refer to Appendix A for more
information regarding measurement of sound pressure level amplitud es.
1. Place the microphone over the chamber
The microphone should be centered over desired location, and pointing at the subject of interest. The picture in
Figure 3.1 shows a typical setup for mouse open field ultrasonic vocalization.
