Abstract

An automated system has been developed to measure the activity and behaviour of species. The system developed has a distributed topology with custom low cost acquisition and illumination devices and infrared cameras. These different systems use the USB interface and permit to acquire from photodiodes sensors to illuminate with a programmable photoperiod and to shot images. A computer controls all the systems connected and treats the information from sensors to show the activity and behaviour of the species under study.
