Circuit design to measure puling forces of cables in experiment animals

Master projects/internships - Leuven | More than two weeks ago

Mice and rats are utilized in medical trials, often small electronics are attached to the animals. These electronics are connected to data acquisition boards using cables (coax or twisted pairs). The weight and stiffness of the cable can induce stress in to the animal.
