The Plug-In solution

The Plug-In solution will improve your productivity. It offers flexibility and extensibility to you.
As described in the Features and Program tour section of these pages, ViewerII is a very flexible tool and already offers a variety of parameters, graphs and data displays in its standard version. For special requirements ViewerII uses Plug-Ins.
Our Plug-Ins provide complex statistics, experiment specific parameters and a configuration tool to adapt measurements to any hardware and to user-defined parameter thresholds.
For standardized experiments, like Water Maze, or for your very special experimental setup, we offer solutions with well considered and elaborated details

     
      Take a look at our User Stories to see how our customers use these tools for their research.
The following plug-ins are available:

 

  Behavior DETECTION, quantitative MEASUREMENT and qualitative ANALYSIS
Event recorder   For coding special events/behaviors with keyboard short cuts
Hole Board   Calculates all relevant Hole Baord parameters. Includes real time statistics and graphs, group analysis and group comparison
Object Recognition   Use various definable parameters to detect object recognition events
Plus Maze Calculates all relevant Plus Maze parameters. Includes real time statistics and graphs, group analysis and group comparison
Radial Maze   Calculates all relevant Radial Maze parameters. Includes animal organization, group analysis and group comparison
Social Contact   Social interaction (active/passive contacts, agressive/submissive behaviors)
Water Maze   Calculates all relevant Water Maze parameters. Includes real time statistics, group analysis and group comparison
Y Maze   Calculates all relevant Y Maze parameters. Includes real time statistics and graphs, group analysis and group comparison
   
  Behavior DETECTION and quantitative MEASUREMENT
Barnes Maze   Calculates all relevant Barnes Maze parameters. Includes real time statistics, group analysis and group comparison
Distance Measurement   Computes distances between an animal and several zones in the tracking arena
Free Exploration Test   All open box relevant parameters
Monitor Trainer   For animal conditioning via video display with several monitors
Rearing   Synchronizes a camera signal with beam break signals to detect and localize rearing behavior
Rotation   Analyzes the speed, diameter, direction and number of the rotation/circling behavior
Ultrasound   Vocalisation/Ultrasound recording and analysis to correlate sound events to behavior
   
  Work-flow improvements
Custom Export   Creates user-defined export files of your data
Database   Automates an experiment series
DiagramPlus   Issues special diagrams like Heat map (whereabouts probaability) or Speed profile
High Throughput   Enables the Viewer to batch-analyze a great number of videos with no need to attend it
Individual Raw Data   Exports tables of track point coordinates with zone reference and customizable meta data like animal name, date, and more
Remote Control   Starts and stops data acquisition by remote control. Absolutely reliable and no need to aim at the receiver
Simple Analog   Analog data can be visualized and saved together with the tracking data
Simultan Start   One Viewer can start an unlimited number of other Viewers within the network
Tape Analyzer   Half automatic method to analyse movies stored on tapes of videocameras
   
  Communication with other software
IP Control   With this plug-in, third party software can control ViewerII via ethernet
Stream Server   Sends raw data via TCP/IP to external programs, running on the same computer or somewhere in the network
   
  Customized plug-ins
    If you think the standard analysis included in the Viewer software is not sufficient for your needs, please contact us (info@biobserve.com) and ask for a special configuration and analysis plug-in based on your requirements.
