Current Setting
Adjust using wheel
If sound is enabled:
STIMPOD will beep
every time that a stimulus was delivered. The
pitch of the sound will follow the current
intensity level.
Warning:
Notifies the user of a discrepancy
between current setting and average current
of actual stimulus.
Proximity Indicator
Average current of actual stimulus
Stimulating Frequency Setting
Adjust using Enter / Hz width button
Pulse Width Setting

2.1a) Adjusting the Current in LOC mode
Current Mode Options: Linear Mode, Non-Linear Mode
Default: Linear
Linear Mode:
The Linear Mode is called linear because one ‘click’ on the Wheel will correspond with one
increment as set in the specific current range. The Linear Mode allows the user to select
individual incrementing options for the three different current ranges.
Default Current range:
0.00 - 5.00mA adjustable in the following default increments:
0.0 - 0.6mA Default 0.1mA
1
0.6 - 2.0mA Default 0.2mA
2.0 - 5.0mA Default 0.5mA
Increments can be adjusted in the Setup Menus
Circle the Wheel to adjust current.
Non-Linear Mode:
The Non-Linear Mode facilitates the non-linear nature of the current intensity versus the
distance from the nerve. This mode allows the user to define 20 adjustment positions in
terms of Current (mA) and Pulse Width (ms). If correctly implemented each adjustment
position should afford the user with a relatively linear progression in terms of the distance
from needle tip to the nerve.
