To start recording data, click "Record" or push F9 key. The specific features of performing the particular
types of tests are described in the relevant sections of this chapter.
"Calibration" button performs compulsory calibration of signal frequency. It is useful when there is no
device's signal due to high transparency of the object device is put on. In this case the "Record" button
is unavailable and compulsory calibration can help to "find" the signal. In
Advanced AngioScan Settings
one can control different parameters of calibration of sensor signals.
Upon completion of the test data can be stored in the database. Click "Save" button (it is available if the
test finished successfully) and enter the commentary to the test. The commentary will be further
displayed in corresponding fields of database window.
Use "Print" button to print out test results, including graphs.
"Conclusion" button displays the medical report made on base of measured test parameters and opens
it in the Internet browser.
When the test is completed or interrupted by "Stop" button, the signal monitoring stops. To resume the
signal monitoring, remove the sensor from patient's finger and put it on again (to change the patient), or
click "Restart" button.
There are all commands corresponding to toolbar buttons in local menu of the window activated by right
click of the mouse. Additionally there can be other commands in local menu:
Command Description
Statistics of the Last
Scan This is an expert function displaying the statistics of the performed test on
monitor. Statistics describe the reasons of non-recognition of pulse waves.
Graphing the
derivatives This expert option graphs the signal derivatives of PPG Contour Analysis in
single curve display mode.

Please see the medical description of the test in "PPG Contour Analysis".
The description of measured parameters see in "Measured Parameters of Contour Analysis".
General rules of test performance are described in "Measurements" Window .
Before the test it is preferable to measure patient's blood pressure and enter systolic and diastolic
pressure values in corresponding toolbar fields:
Stress index is also estimated by default during the test. For this purpose, 100 reliably detected pulse
waves are accumulated. Here you can switch off stress index examination:
