A microcomputer-controlled system for use in auditory physiology.

This report describes a digitally controlled system for use in auditory physiology in which signal generation and data acquisition are under the control of a single microcomputer. The system is designed to generate the complex waveforms required in neuroethological studies, and is able to generate these signals at frequencies of up to 160 kHz with a resolution of 1 Hz. The system is built around a commercially available digital hardware system, and augmented with custom components to enhance operation speed, precision and flexibility.
