Press OK.
Open
In this option you will open the file that you want to review.
The system automatically will open the folder where the files are saved, PUD.
You can select one or more waveforms to view on the screen, select all the waveform
that you wish to see in the same study and open all together.
You can select more than one waveform in the same time as you have the option in the
windows programs.
Select the File>Open> and select one waveform press the shift key and move the downup arrow or with a click of the mouse, the selectable waveform will appear on the
waveform display area.

choose.
Overwrite
Overwrite active waveform and begin a new collection from average number = 0.
Start Next

Using this option you start a new waveform and it will be the new active.
The extension name of this waveform will be increased automatically. For example, if
you begin a study called Peter and you start more than one waveform the new
waveforms you will begin with this option will be called Peter.000, Peter.001, Peter.002
etc.
Change Study Type
Using this option you can change the Study Type to use during the study.

all the study type the program have as default and all the study type you have made
before. Select the option OK and the study type will change automatically, you are
ready to begin a new collection.
Input Channel
From this option, it allows you to define channels for the signal input.
Impedance Test
You can see the impedance value of each electrode in Kohms.
If you are sure that the reference and ground electrodes have good contact to the patient
and the system gives you values out of accepted you must chek:
1. Using same material electrodes (NO mixed electrodes)
2. Low quality of materials or electrodes
3. You are using good quality conductive paste

Slecting this option will appear a box where you can type the montage name you used
for the collection. This information will appear in the Status Bar.

Edit Note
Each trace may have a different note. It is possible to write or change the note of the
active waveform.
You have two possibilities to edit or write a new note, one is using this menu and the
other one is using the contextual menu.
You must be sure you are inserted the Note to the active waveform and after you have
inserted the Note Save the active trace.

Other way to work with graphic screen images

Previous to work you have to select an area doing a click on the beginning point and
take the mouse up to the point you want it finished. It will be shown a line box outside
the area. When you left the button on the right of this box will appear a menu with two
options:
Copy to Clipboard
This option is for copiyng the area in a part of the computer memory.
When you select this option you have to open other program where you want or can
paste the copy you have done. It could be for example: Microsoft Word, Adobe
Photoshop etc.
You must copy and paste inmediatly because only one copy is keeped in the computer
memory.
New DIB
As in the last option you can generate a new BMP graphic file but just of the selected
area. The procedure is the same as in New Full Screen DIB.
Its no necesary to paste this file inmediatly you done it. It is achived in the same folder
as other graphic screen files are saved. You will be able to use it whenever you want.

PCMCIA Installation under Windows

Once you connect the PCMCIA card, Windows recognize it and insert the draw of the Card in
the right side in the bottom of the screen, near the watch. This doesnt mean that the card is
correcting installed, only shows the zocalos used and not used. If you click on this Icon appear a
properties window of the PC Card (PCMCIA).
This Window has two options,
1. Connector Statement
2. Global Configuration those measurements are what you need for the PCMCIA card
Installation.
You also must select the phrase Automatic Selection, to be able the system to recognize the type
of card, if you dont do that you wont be able to install. If you dont select this option the
system wont put the correct name of the PCMCIA card when options are showed.
Those are procedures that Windows gives to you; the procedure for the Card installation is as
follows,
1. To install the driver of the PCMCIA card insert the CD or Diskettesof National called Data
Acquisition Driver Software, in the CD Driver and run the " install nidaq "
2. Only is needed Drivers Install (Driver Files) Accept the path of national.
3. Accept the propose folder

To install Akonic Interface

Before installing the Akonic interface, please take a moment to review this information.
Failure to properlly install and integrate the Akonic Interface may impact your Warranty coverage.
To ensure a smooth installation, pay particular attention to the following steps:

1- With the power off, remove the computer cover.

2- Install the Akonic Interface card firmly into its des ignated expansion card slot.
Care should be taken to press it evenly and snugly into the slot.
3- Once you are certain the Akonic interface is installed properly, secure it with the bracket screw.
Note: The position of Akonic Interface is, generally, in the last slot.
4- Secure the secondary connector of interface withe the bracket screw close to Akonic Inteface.
5- Secure the computer cover, before to chek the earth connection.
Atention!!!: These installation instructions presume that you are familiar with your computer system.
You may need to seek assistance from your dealer.

(male) photo stimulator connection

In the same groove cover remains free 1 cable with 2 connectors:

- 1 female
- 1 male
Both are used for PC connections. These cables are: red, black and yellow.
Find one free connector of these and plug it to the cables in the groove cover.
It is possible one of these connectors remains free, in this case it will not be used.

THIRTH GROOVE COVER

Before you remove the computer cover, touch a grounded metal surface a dischange static
electrcity.
To install Stimulus card:
123456-

Turn off your computer, and diconnect the power cable

Disconnect the monitor and other devices thet are connected to the computer.
Remove the computer cover
Locate a 16-bit ISA slot to accommodate the stimulus card.
Remove the slot cover from your computer - save the screw to secure the stimulus card
Align the striped tabs on the bottom of the stimulus card with the 16 bit ISA slots, and firmly press
the card into place until it fits snugly.
7- Use the screw from the slot cover to secure the stimulus card to the frame of the computer-securing
the card assesures proper grounding.
8- Replace the computer cover.
9- Connect your earphones, pattern devices, or other devices to the back panel of the stimulus card.
