CHAPTER 3 - THE INTERFACE MENUS
3.1 INTERFACE MENUS - NAVIGATION
Chapter 3 is a complete manual for the 820MS Interface. This chapter contains a detailed description of how to
navigate the touch-screen menus and how to use the special features of the 820MS myograph. The 820MS system
can be used in 2 different modes. The first mode is the Calibrated Mode, where the signal from the transducers is
filtered and conditioned before the signal is routed to the BNC outputs in the back of the interface for collection by
a data acquisition system. The second mode is the Direct Mode, and the signals from the transducers in this mode
bypass the internal amplifier and are routed directly to the NBC outputs for data acquisition. Different menu options
are available in each mode and will be described in more detail in this chapter.
Menus on the 820MS interface are all accessible by a touch screen. To
access a menu, simply touch the screen. A setting can be changed by
touching the “SELECT” icon on the screen corresponding the “SELECT”
icon on the touch screen corresponding to the desired channel to be
changed.

The line to be modified will turn blue, indicating that the interface is

4 channels will turn blue. Changing the numeric value for the chosen
parameter can be done by touching the up or down arrow keys.
Touch “ENTER” when the desired setting has been chosen. Touching
the “X” will exit the menu and automatically take the user to the
