User's Manual

The Device Settings section indicates which data acquisition box channel the various tools should be

plugged into, based on the set-up of the software. The following settings are used in normal set-ups:

F >> FOCUS Load Cell = 3

P >> Pressure Algometer = 6

LS >> Lower Shelf = 1

I >> Inclinometer = 12

PG >> Pinch Grip = 5

HG >> Hand Grip = 4

US >> Upper Shelf = 2

G >> Goniometer = 14 (12G on the Data Acquisition Box)

CI >> Cervical Isometric = 15 (Multi-Cervical System)

CE >> Cervical Flexion/Extension = 11 (Multi-Cervical System)

CR >> Cervical Rotation = 10 (Multi-Cervical System)

CS >> Cervical Seat = 9 (Multi-Cervical System)

ULI >> UTM Left Isometric = 14

URI >> UTM Right Isometric = 15

UBR >> UTM Bar Rotation = 13

ULR >> UTM Left Handle Rotation = 11

URR >> UTM Right Handle Rotation = 12

ULD >> UTM Left Handle Distance = 9

URD >> UTM Right Handle Distance = 10

Evaluator systems should change the F and P settings to 6 so that the algometer will not need to be

shifted between the two ports. The software looks for the Algometer in Port 6 for the Superficial

Tenderness Protocol, Fibromyalgia Protocol, and any new tests created under the strength or work

simulation section of the ODES software where the Algometer was chosen as the tool. The static muscle

strength tests and any pre-programmed work simulation tests (i.e. static push and pull) are looking for the

single FOCUS load cell, which is normally plugged into Port 3.

Evaluator system users should change their device settings in Administration Ň Environment Settings so

that both the FOCUS and Pressure Algometer settings are set to Port 6. This will prevent the Evaluator

from having to calibrate the Algometer in Port 6 and Port 3 (as the FOCUS). To do this open

Administration Ň Environment Settings and double click on the word Device Settings until it turns red.
