Abstract
An instrument capable of constant current stimulation of biological preparations is described. The device can be automatically programmed in an on-line manner by a digital computer or special purpose logic. Experiments are freed of the time consuming and error producing task of continually monitoring experimental situations. Several biological uses of this instrument are discussed.
