NAME DESCRIPTION SAMPLE
SnapShot
Single frequency, sinusoidal
forced oscillation waveform. The
oscillation frequency is typically
matched to the subject's
respiratory rate (e.g. "SnapShot-
150" for mice breathing at 150
br/min).
Primewave
Broadband (multi-frequency)
forced oscillation waveforms,
typically denoted by duration (e.g.
"Prime-8" lasts 8 seconds).
PV Loop
Slow stepwise or continuous
(ramp) inflation to TLC (or other
user-specified value) and deflation
back to FRC, controlling either
volume or pressure.
