option can be used when the user detects a trace indicative of the successful neuron detection, but AutoPatch1506 does not stop. This function will rarely need to be used during an autopatching trial. PROGRAM INDICATOR PANELS IN THE NEURON HUNT TAB There are 3 indicator panels in this tab. NEURON HUNT RESISTANCE MONITOR This graph plots the resistance readings the autopatcher measures at various positions during neuron hunting. The user can monitor graph to verify that the program is stopping at when a neuron is detected. See autopatcher operation section for more details. MEMBRANE TEST CURRENTS This plot graphs the current traces measured by the AutoPatch1506 when computing the resistance, this can be used to monitor for modulation of current traces at heartbeat and breathing frequencies that is indicative of a neuron being contacted. 2.4.4 GIGASEALING AND BREAKIN TAB SETTINGS AND CONTROL A common tab is used in the user interface for the gigasealing stage and the breaking in part of the autopatching process. Shown below is a screen capture of this tab setting. Below are descriptions of the various user inputs and the indicators in this tab and their function.
