Settings for Sampling Panels in Lt - ECG Event Averaging

The following settings file is designed for use with the Scope Sampling panel. It is particularly useful for ECG detection and averages every four ECG complexes. This can help reduce noise in the signal or provide more accurate measurements of P, Q, R, S, and T waves. To use this file, ensure you have a Bio Amp connected to Input 3 of your PowerLab.

Attaching ECG Electrodes

  1. Remove any watches or jewelry from the volunteer's wrists and ankles.
  2. Mark small crosses on the volunteer's skin at the electrode placement sites (both wrists and the right leg) using a pen.
  3. Lightly abrade the marked areas using abrasive gel, then clean the areas with alcohol swabs.
  4. Snap disposable electrodes onto the three electrode lead wires. To minimize discomfort, attach the electrode lead wires to the disposable electrodes before applying them to the volunteer's skin.
  5. Attach the electrodes to the prepared areas:
    • The positive electrode to the left wrist.
    • The negative electrode to the right wrist.
    • The ground electrode to the right leg.
  6. Ensure the PowerLab is connected and powered on.
  7. Connect the electrode lead wires to Earth, CH1 NEG, and CH1 POS on the Bio Amp cable.
  8. Connect the Bio Amp cable to the Bio Amp input on the PowerLab. If using a Bio Amp front-end, connect the front-end to Input 3 on your PowerLab.
