3. In Three Electrode RF mode, the NT1100 will only function using Auto mode. When the Doctor
has completed the sensory and motor test, "Log "each test as required. With the electrodes in
the correct place, press the "Auto Start' button to begin the lesion. The RF heating has
an advanced temperature control algorithm to ensure that each electrode will operate to the
correct temperature even though the impedance of the tissue at each site may vary by a large
amount.
The graphical interface of the lesion screens is also similar to that of the two electrodes mode.
The temperature of electrodes 1 to 3 is shown above each graph, with the impedance, voltage,
current and power shown underneath each graph. When the lesion is complete a tone will sound
and the power will be removed.
