•

program the start and end parameters of a record

•

pre-record patient information

•

download the recorded data onto a computer, and send it by e-mail

•

view the signals and start an automatic analysis of the signals

•

define the beginning and end points of the analysis

•

manually make or change markings

•

generate an analysis report and insert conclusions

•

set the time on the device

•

calibrate the device
