Colour coding
The NT1100 utilises a colour coding system throughout all of its menu systems, graphs and
buttons. The colours are as follows:
Sensory Stimulation: Orange
Motor Stimulation:
Yellow
Thermal Lesion:
Green
Pulsed RF:
Blue
Pulsed Dose:
Purple
Motor and sensory modes
The layout of the screens for these modes is very similar. At the top of the screen there is a large
readout of the voltage or current that is being applied to the patient. Below is a large graph area.
Each time the stimulation control is turned on in Motor and Sensory modes the NT1100 creates a
colour – coded vertical line (see above for colour table). Above this line is a single digit that
represents the active site. To store the stimulation test results press the “
log”
button after each
acceptable sensory or motor voltage test
The user can switch between sensory and motor modes at any time using the ‘motor’ and
‘sensory’ buttons on the front control panel. To switch between motor and sensory the control
must be set to off. The graph will update showing the relevant data using the same scale.
At the bottom of the screen is a reading of impedance at the active site. The box at the foot of the
grey area shows the active site. It must be noted that during stimulation of a patient, the NT1100
will not read Impedance.
