Configuring the EEG Module
There are several different ways to configure the EEG module. You can monitor
EEG in either two or four channel mode. You may also elect to monitor EMG. The
EEG module also allows you to choose several formats for the EEG display, from
analog waveforms to trend displays. Since the EEG module can store up to six
setups, you will want to determine which setups best suit your needs, and store
them in the module. You can then recall any of these configurations simply by
recalling a setup you have pre-configured.
Some of the factors to consider when configuring a setup are:
• Electrode placement; what lead placement locations are best for your
application?
• Filters; what should the low cutoff, high cutoff and line frequency settings be?
• Display format; what type of data display is best?
• Size; what size best shows the data you have chosen?
• Time base; which time base best reflects the information you need?
• Frequency range; what range do you wish to monitor?
• Trends; do you want to trend an EEG parameter?
• Sweep speed; what speed should an analog display use?
• EEG band frequencies; what frequency ranges do you want to apply to the
delta, theta, alpha and beta bands?
• Trends; what size do you want your trends to be? What frequency bands
should the trends reflect?
Initial Setup
Touching the INITIAL SETUP key will display the Initial Setup menu. The Initial
Setup menu has four general categories of parameters:
• System Parameters
•DSA
•Analog
•Trends
!
• When the module is first inserted into the module housing,
processing is stopped. To access the Initial Setup menus after
the EEG module is processing information, first turn the
processing off.
• The following instructions on accessing the initial setup menus
assumes that processing is off. The quickstart steps addressing
initial setup procedures also assume that processing is off.
To access the initial setup
menus: (processing must be off)
