Software
RHX Data Acquisition Software (New)
The new universal RHX software works with RHD USB interface boards, RHD recording controllers, and RHS stim/recording controllers. The installer will set up all necessary drivers and other dependencies.
- RHX software
(Version 3.0.1, February 12, 2021)- RHX software user guide
- Windows installer
- Mac disk image
Note: A macOS security feature may prevent you from running the application. To bypass this, right-click (or Ctrl+click) the file and select Open, then agree to Open at the warning message. - Release notes
Note: This software can be run without hardware present; it will generate synthetic neural data for demonstration purposes if no Intan hardware is connected.

Legacy Software
Drivers
- USB drivers for
Windows (7, 8, 10), Mac, and Linux
These drivers should be installed before attaching Intan hardware to a computer. If you later receive an error message from our software saying 'Opal Kelly USB drivers not installed' you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
Windows Installation Packages
- Intan Windows software is compatible with Windows 7, 8, or 10. If you have trouble running any Intan software under Windows, you may need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 and for Visual Studio 2015 from Microsoft.
