PlexStim™ Electrical Stimulator 2.0 Good news for PlexStim™ Electrical Stimulator 2.0 users! Not only are you now able to download the product software online, but there is a new SDK available as well. This new install includes updated drivers, so we recommend that everyone with the Stimulator 2.0 downloads this release. Additionally, the SDK is not available separately, so the complete install should be performed to gain access to the SDK. The download is available via the PlexStim Electrical Stimulator 2.0 page or in the support section of the website under Software Downloads, Product Specific, PlexStim Electrical Stimulator 2.0. Workshop Early Registration Deadline – March 31 April 29 – May 2, 2013; Dallas, Texas, USA The Annual Plexon Neurophysiology Workshop is now 65% SOLD OUT and early registration pricing ends this weekend on March 31. To receive the early registration price, a Registration Form and payment must be received by the deadline.
