1. Launch MouseRec either from the start menu or from the location where it was
saved/installed on the hard drive. The window shown in Fig. 1 appears after launching
the program. If the window does not look like this, it may be displaying another tab. You
can click on the Settings/Information tab in that case. The text boxes under this tab are
inactive until the START button is clicked. The information for these boxes is provided
through a series of prompts. The only exception is the Active NI-DAQ Device list. If
more than one NI DAQ capable of voltage measurements is available on the computer,
you will have to select the correct device here before clicking the START button. In this
case the NI-DAQ USB-6225 has been detected and will be used.
