# Scenario Remedy
S2 CMOS is exposed to too high an environ-
mental light source and it is not properly
configured to work in such conditions. In such
scenario several electrodes typically exhibit
jumping saturation.
Turn off the light source or cover the BioChip
with a cap (as those that can be provided to-
gether with the BioCAM X system).
If you cannot perform this operations, or if you
need light on the BioChip (e.g. for light stimu-
lation purposes) configure BrainWave to make
the BioChip working in such conditions.
If the problem is not solved, check following
scenarios and remedies.
S3 Pseudo-reference electrode is dirty or it has
not been cleaned for a relatively long period.
Proteins and impurities can attach with time
to the reference electrode and degrade the
reference performances, causing few or many
channels to exhibit persistent saturation. Check section “BioCAM X handling and use”
how to clean the pseudo-reference electrode.
S4 BioChip is not properly calibrated. In such sce-
nario some channels might show persistent
saturation while others suffer from jumping
saturation.
Check section “BioChip Calibration” to calibrate
the chip.
S5 BioChip is either damaged or worn out. If no one of the above remedies worked you
may need to change the BioChip.
