Control Section
This section consists of:
1 pair of 'Select' buttons
2 other buttons 'Log' and 'End Session'
1 Mains LED
The Up/Down Select Buttons are used under certain stimulation modes to select options
that appear on the Display Screen.
If a single probe is being used, using the Select Buttons can select one of three sites. If
multiple probes are being used the Select Buttons are used to select the probe to which
the stimulation signal is being sent. If a Cordotomy Procedure is being undertaken, an
audible tone (whose frequency is proportional to impedance) sounds and the Select
Buttons can be used to change the volume of the tone.
The 'Log' button is used to highlight an event. In the stimulate mode when a stimulation
signal is being delivered to a patient, a coloured bar (orange for 'Sensory', yellow for
'Motor') is drawn on the screen, the height of the bar being a measure of the output. If a
stimulation level needs to be recorded, pressing the 'Log' Button fixes that bar on the
screen.
In other modes of the machine (RF Lesion or RF Pulse) if it is required to note an event
pressing the 'log' button put a 'highlighted' line in the stored memory of the session. If
details of the session are later downloaded to the memory stick, then the position of these
lines can be seen.
The 'End Session' button is used when a treatment or set of treatments has been
completed. Pressing the button returns the Display Screen to a set up condition and
sends a summary of the session to the printer. At the same time a delineator is put on the
memory so that individual sessions can be downloaded later.
