Section 5 – Using the
D360R-4 Amplifier
Introduction
The operator should now be familiar with the hardware connections necessary to attach the D360R-
4 to the host computer/acquisition system and have an understanding of the D360R-4 Client
Software. It is now appropriate to consider the steps required when preparing to make the first
recordings.
These simple technical instructions relate to how the D360R-4 system is set up and do not replace
appropriate training in clinical neurophysiological recording techniques. Any potential operators who
are unfamiliar with such methodology should seek professional training before using the D360R-4.
Considerations for Use
Preparing the D360R-4 for Use
1.
The operator should conduct a visual inspection of the D360R-4 and any associated
hardware, in order to confirm that there is no damage to the equipment, which may cause
an equipment failure or safety hazard.
2.
The cable connections between the host computer, the D360R-4 and other system
components should be checked.
3.
The D360R-4 should be switched on at the mains socket and on the rear panel switch. The
D360R-4 should be allowed to warm up for one hour before use. This stabilises the internal
electronics and ensures drift-free recordings.
4.
The D360R-4 Client Software should be started on the host computer.
5.
Once the Client Software locates a D360R-4, the program should display information about
the amplifier(s) connected to the host computer. If the software reports that a D360R-4
cannot be found, all connections and power switches should be double-checked. The
software should automatically locate the D360R-4 once any necessary changes are made.
