The PiezoSleep 4.0 data collection software, written and compiled in LabVIEW, monitors and records high-throughput animal behavior-tracking experiments, which output several files for classifying behavioral states.

During the recording process, the graphical user interface provides a variety of graphs, statistical summaries, and current sleep-wake states to monitor the data collection for real-time monitoring. This software supports the use of our data acquisition boxes (the Calimari, Squid, and Giant Squid boxes), accommodating up to 64 cage recordings simultaneously. These boxes contain data acquisition (DAQ) modules as well as power distribution circuits for the sensor amplifiers. The software described in this document automatically detects all devices configured on your computer.

Windows 7 or later with 2GB or higher RAM is required to run this software.
