Qualisys supplies a range of hardware and software products for motion capture and analysis of movement data. The key components of the system are the Oqus cameras and the Qualisys Track Manager (QTM) software. For advanced analysis of the movement data Qualisys supplies third party software products such as Visual3D from C-Motion, Inc.
Measurement data can be exported in different standard formats for use in customer-developed and other third party software. The Qualisys products are designed to meet the highest demands for quality, simplicity, speed and precision. Systems, built from the Qualisys products, are flexible, mobile and expandable and are therefore easy to adapt to varying needs in industry, research and clinical use.

• ProReflex, Qualisys motion capture camera
  The compact design of the ProReflex MCU permits multiple specialized digital processors to be mounted within the camera housing. This design allows the camera to process video data directly and convert it into coordinates. The resulting digital data is easily downloaded through simple daisy chain wiring without introducing signal noise or degradation. A ProReflex MCU system is made up of between one and thirty-two cameras depending on the user’s measurement needs. The system is flexible and cameras can be added as the needs change.
   
• Qualisys Track Manager
  QTM is a software that allows the user to perform real time 2D and 3D motion capture using Qualisys motion capture hardware. QTM is designed to meet the needs of the advanced as well as the inexperienced users in many application areas ranging from industry to medical research.

Induce a small transient electrical current in human tissue by a very strong magnetic field created by a stimulating coil held close to the area of the body to be stimulated. It is non-invasive, painless and is used in diagnosis, prognosis and therapy in a range of nervous and psychiatric disorders, being able to stimulate the human cortex and all spinal roots, as well as peripheral nerves, easily and painlessly.

• Magstim 200²
  Based upon the original Magstim design, the new Magstim 200² monophasic transcranial stimulator draws upon the years of knowledge and expertise gathered in both the clinical and research environments. The result is an innovative design that will enhance the company's reputation and establish the new Magstim range as the system of preferred choice.
   

• BiStim²
  BiStim² provides an effective upgrade path that allows users to take full advantage of the Magstim 200² modularity.
  The potential to combine two units offers fully programmable paired pulse stimulation through a single stimulating coil. The ability to change pulse intervals and to control independently the power level of each Magstim 200² allows for sub- and supra-threshold conditioning and secondary pulses to investigate inhibitory and facilitatory circuits.
   

• Rapid²
  BiStim² Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) works by inducing electrical currents in tissue using a non-invasive stimulating coil at frequencies of up to 100Hz. The stimulating coil is placed near the intended site of stimulation and trigger pulses initiate brief magnetic pulses.
  The magnetic fields can pass through clothing, tissue and bone to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. One feature of magnetic stimulation is that it is less likely to stimulate pain fibres at the skin surface, reducing the discomfort when compared with conventional electrical stimulation.
  Magstim Rapid² magnetic stimulators combine stimulation frequencies from 1Hz to 100Hz with a touch screen interface which controls every aspect of the stimulator's control and operation.
  This new range of rapid rate stimulators replaces the well established Magstim Rapid and Magstim Super Rapid and has been developed as a result of extensive consultation with existing users throughout the world, both in the clinical and research arenas.

The MAXNC 15 CL2 is a closed loop version of the MAXNC 15 stepper machine but using the MAXNC new CL2 motion system for control. This new controller run 4 axes from a single parallel port from any PC, 66 mega Herts or faster (486, Pentium, AMDK, etc.)from DOS or from WINDOWS. The control reads the encoders at a rate of over 60,000 times a second and the feed-back is analyzed by the software. Based on the position of the encoders, the outputs to the motors are advanced, retarded or modified as needed. The speed at which the software operates also allows the control of the spindle motor speed from the CNC program. The servo motors used in the CL2 systems are of step configuration to obtain very fast acceleration an deceleration rates, important in continuous contouring operations. Machine operates at up to 60 inches per minute with the standard 20 threads per inch screws. The machine comes equipped with combination HOME and LIMIT switches and a socket for the 3D digitizer.

The Micro1401 mk 2 is a low cost, versatile data acquisition unit. The on-board processor with high speed memory is optimised for real time processing, free from the constraints of the host computer operating system. Fast and accurate sampling coupled with simultaneous output offers extensive on-line experimental control.
The Micro1401 records waveform data, digital (event) and marker information and can simultaneously generate waveform and digital outputs in real-time for multi-tasking experimental control. It features high-speed waveform capture at rates up to 500kHz with 16-bit resolution. The 32-bit RISC processor allows complex on-line analysis while freeing time for the host computer to perform other tasks, such as data manipulation and further analysis.
