GENERAL TERMINOLOGY, LOGGING, MESSAGES AND SIMPLE OPERATION

Data Logging during a procedure
The NT1100 has the capability to log and store all data from a procedure on a second by second
basis. By pressing the 'log' button, the NT1100 saves all data simultaneously which can be
printed or saved to the NeuroTherm USB memory Stick (Part #: NT-USB) at the end of the
procedure.
Saving Data to the USB Memory Stick
The USB Memory stick plugs into the back of the machine. The NT1100 automatically logs data
during all active procedures.
This data can be copied and used on any Microsoft windows compatible computer, and viewed
using Microsoft Excel. For reference the files are saved as .CSV (comma separated value) text
files. Log number and names for the log files, for example: - 100047.csv, is the log data file for
procedure 100047.
To open the files in Excel, use the file>open command, locate the USB memory stick (which may
be labelled by windows as a removable disk), select the log file and press 'ok'. The import wizard
will then assist with formatting the data into columns.
CAUTION: - Incomplete logs due to environmental error or power failure will result in a log not
being stored.
CAUTION: - Rigorous procedures should be adopted to ensure backups of user logs are made
and stored safely.
CAUTION: - Operator should review the data in the data file to confirm consistency
