if you're
CREATIVE
you often run into problems that demand special purpose instruments. You may have to design and build your own equipment, through choice or necessity. We have produced a versatile system which provides the building blocks common to most instruments. The MP-System 1000 will perform almost any instrument function you can devise. The console, power supply, plug-in modules and accessories combine in hundreds of ways to produce research-quality equipment which meets exact needs.
