There is currently no option to change the language settings of a particular install of LabChart for Windows. The three supported languages, English, Chinese, and Japanese, exist as independent versions of the software. To change from one language...
Are the Equivital sensor belts washable?
The Equivital sensor belts are fully machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. Washing instructions are printed on the inside of each sensor belt and provided in the instructions for use guide. As the sensor belt is worn against the skin it is...
Can Delsys EMG Sensors measure skin impedance?
No Delsys Sensors cannot measure skin impedance. The sensors are designed to detect minuscule electrical currents appearing on the surface of the skin as a result of muscle contractions. The measurement of skin impedance requires the injection of a...
What are the computer system requirements for the Delsys EMGworks and Trigno Control Utility softwares?
The Delsys EMGworks and Trigno Wireless Control Utility have the following system requirements: Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7 with service pack 3. 64-bit systems At least 2.0 GHz processor clock speed (optimized for processors supporting SSE2...
Is the Equivital LifeMonitor Waterproof?
The Equivital LifeMonitor (SEM and Sensor Belt components) are both IPx7 waterproof rated (30 minutes maximum duration in water to a maximum depth of 1 meter). Please note; this is only applicable when the SEM and Belt are correctly connected...
The Equivital sensor belts are a semi-consumable item. With use and repeated washing the silver in the fabric ECG electrodes degrades affecting the quality of the signal. The warranty is 3 months (25 washes). The sensor belts contain integrated...
Can Delsys wireless EMG sensors be used under water?
None of Delsys' wireless sensors are waterproof and thus the EMG sensors cannot be used for recording EMG from a subject in or under the water. For further technical assistance with this or any other issue, please contact ADInstruments Technical...
Can I wear the Equivital LifeMonitor while swimming?
Customers who wish to use the Equivital LifeMonitor outside of the IP67 rating (30 minutes max in water, to a depth of 1 meter) do so at their own risk. If using the Equivital LifeMonitor in either a swimming pool or salt water no ECG will be...
How should Delsys EMG sensors be cleaned?
Delsys sensors can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent solution. Gas sterilization methods are also acceptable. Sensors should not be fully submersed in liquids for any period of time. It is recommended to clean Delsys Sensors...
What is the battery life of the Equivital LifeMonitor?
The equivital SEM has an internal Lithium ion battery. Recharge time from flat is approximately 1 hour to full charge. The battery life depends on the physiological parameters being measured as well as the data transmission mode being used. For real...
If an ECG was recorded with swapped leads so the R-peak points downwards, the ECG Analysis Module is not able to detect the QRS max correctly. Also using the channel options "invert scale and data" won't help. An easy solution is to use Channel...
Unfortunately, LabChart 7 or 8 for Windows and LabChart 7 or 8 for Mac are only compatible with the standard EDF file format . Neither version of LabChart will be able to correctly open EDF+ formatted data files that contain interrupted recordings...
Can ADInstruments’ bridge amps be used with 3rd party transducers which require different excitation?
Newer bridge amplifiers (FE***) can supply a DC excitation voltage of up to 20V. This can enable 3 rd party transducers, to be used with our amplifiers. The amount of excitation needed can be altered using a specific resistor. This resistor is...
Per Millar's Instructions For Use (IFU) for the Mikro-Tip and Ventri-Cath catheters, it is recommended to disconnect the Mikro-Tip catheter from all electronics prior to defibrillation or electrosurgery. Failure to do so could result in damage to the...
How do I reduce noise that is appearing on the volume segments of the Millar MPVS Ultra?
Electrical interference may be caused by other pieces of equipment (ECG Leads, Stimulators, Power Cables, etc.) that are connected to or near the animal during the experiment. Initially, try removing these peripheral electrodes/devices to determine...
Often, when LabChart and the Video Capture Module encounter this type of error, it is because the video device is being utilized by another software. Many DirectShow compatible video cameras and capture cards come with their own Video Capture...
Single-segment PV catheters use a single pair of excitation electrodes with the positive electrode located at the proximal end of the measurement area and the negative electrode located at the distal end of the measurement area to generate an...
By default the Trigno wireless EMG systems are shipped with all sensors appropriately paired. However, it is possible to pair multiple sensors to one sensor position, for example sensors 1 and 5 can be paired to "sensor 1" in the Trigno Control...
Delsys devices such as the Trigno Wireless EMG System, are not designed to be used with stimulation devices. The fundamental performance issue is the amplitude of the detected stimulus as recorded by the sensor. An amplitude at the recording site...
When recording EMG and / or Accelerometer data from a Delsys Wireless EMG system with a PowerLab, use the following Settings and Unit Conversion values within LabChart: Sampling Rate: 2000/s Range: 5V For EMG: 0mV = 0mV 909mV = 1mV (The reason for...
