Extended Data Fig. 10: Graphic user interface.

a, Screenshot of the GUI designed to control multiple devices sharing the same experimental arena. The GUI connects to the PDB box using commands in block (i). Commands in block (ii) allow the detection of devices in the RF field (Inventory) which are then listed in dropdown menu (Device list). The command ‘Read summary’ interrogates the selected devices and provides a summary of the parameters currently stored in the device’s memory (see b). Commands in block (iii) read (Read) and write (Write) parameters such as Frequency, Pulse width and Burst period to the selected device and selected mode of operation. Commands in block (iv) provide access to the mode of operation of the devices. Options such as Single or Dual mode of operation, as well as the channel selection or tonic or burst stimulation modes, are specified here. Commands in block (v) provides access to the RF parameters of the PDB box, such as power setting or toggling the operation status of the RF field, i.e., ON/OFF operation. Finally, block (vi) shows a snapshot of the waveform that the device will produce based on the parameters specified in blocks (iii) and (iv). b, Screenshot of the configuration summary currently stored in the memory of the device produced when hitting the ‘Read summary’ command button in block (ii). If the experiment does not require further adjustment of these parameters, only commands such as those specified in block (iv) will need subsequent changes.
