Peak Analysis Module for Windows

Overview:

The MLS380/7 Peak Analysis Module for Windows provides automatic detection and analysis of multiple, non- overlapping, signal peaks in acquired waveforms. The module can be used either offline, to analyze peaks in existing recordings, or online, to analyze peaks as they are being recorded.

An entire channel or any selection within a channel can be analyzed. Users can select from one of several analysis settings available for general waveforms and specific signal types. The detection, calculation and table view options can be adjusted for each waveform type.

The Peak Analysis should be used with the latest version of LabChart.

The Peak Analysis Module is also available as part of  LabChart Pro. The LabChart Pro software package includes all LabChart Modules. Existing LabChart users and PowerLab system purchasers can upgrade to LabChart Pro at a special price. If you need more information please contact your ADInstruments Representative.

For more information download the Software Booklet (5.83 MB) or contact your nearest ADInstruments Representative.

Features & Benefits:

• Detects and analyzes multiple peaks in recorded waveforms.
• Suitable for a wide range of signals.
• Calculates and reports a wide range of peak parameters.
• Allows analysis in real time and after recording.
• Provides default analysis settings for various signal types.
• Useful graphical display of calculated parameters as continuous signals in LabChart channels in real time.
• Detects positive or negative peaks.
• Reduces the amount of time required to analyze and extract parameters from multiple peaks.
• Provides automatic peak detection of an entire channel or a selection within a channel.
• Analysis presets suitable for general and specific types of waveforms includes:
• General Unstimulated – for peaks in waveforms without stimuli
• Evoked Responses – for monophasic peaks that follow a stimulus
• Population Spikes – for extracellular evoked responses
• Synaptic – for synaptic measurements
• Action Potentials – for intracellular neuronal action potentials
• Cardiac Action Potentials – for monophasic intracellular and extracellular cardiac action potentials
• Peak Analysis Settings Dialog allows the user to modify settings including:
• Detection: Determines how stimulus artifacts and peaks are detected
• Calculations: Set boundaries for the calculation of peak parameters
• Table Options: Custom selection of calculated parameters to be displayed in the Table View
• Peak Analysis View features includes:
• Display of each individual peak and its parameters
• Display of waveform cursor coordinates
• Allows scaling of the display
• Display of parameter summary information
• Peak Analysis Table View displays calculated parameters for all detected peaks:
• Export tab: Automatically saves Table View contents as text file that can be opened in other applications
• Settings tab: Allows selection of parameters to be displayed
• Add to Data Pad tab: copies values to LabChart’s Data Pad to allow exporting and OLE linking to other applications such as Microsoft Excel
• Linked waveforms and data in LabChart, Peak Analysis and Table Views to allow easy and quick navigation of particular peak information.
