SAGA 32/64+ update: release of firmware v2.0

In the past months we have been working hard, to round up the firmware update for our SAGA 32/64+ systems. Now everything is finalized, we are ready to bring this update to all existing SAGA systems. Since its launch in June 2019, users have been able to explore the individual ways of recording electrophysiological signals. We received many positive reactions from our users, enjoying all the features of the SAGA, reflecting the core concept of the SAGA system: “Measuring anything, anywhere, anytime”. This update is released with the aim of meeting our customers’ needs in order to enhance the convenience and increase possibilities of the SAGA. This firmware update includes enhancements and also solves reported issues. Now, the SAGA 32/64+ is more complete than ever. Below you will find a list with enhancements and a list with bugfixes and improvements.

New features

• 16-bit trigger input on the Docking Station
  The 16-bit trigger interface was one of the features disabled in the initial market release of SAGA. In this update we activate this feature. Now you can expand your research with other synchronized devices.

  This update allows multi-device recordings: run two SAGAs in parallel, on 1 PC.  This enables the possibilty to record 64 channels EEG combined with 64 channels of HD-EMG or create a 128 channel setup. It’s up to you.
