Viewing an EEG Tracing
You can display the underlying EEG data that is associated with a CFM tracing. The EEG
can help confirm seizures and other brain activity or help identify artifacts.
During recording, you can monitor the live EEG, or you can view EEG data recorded
earlier in the session. You can change the EEG speed and amplitude to see more or less
detail.
CAUTION
Allow the calibration check to complete before touching controls to perform tasks.
NOTE

It is recommended that you archive (backup to CD) each session when recording is complete.
