Page 16: Chapter 3: Software
Chapter 3: Software Installation of monitorPLUX Installation is straightforward: 1. Insert the CD in your computer. 2. Locate the executable programme “MonitorPlux v2.0.exe” Note: If you are using Windows Vista, you will need to run the programme with Administrator privileges. To do this, use the right mouse button to click on the “MonitorPlux v2.0.exe” file and then select “Run as Administrator”... -
Page 17: Using The Software
When MonitorPlus is used for the first time, you need to define the device that is being used to collect data. To do this, after opening the program, click on the Monitor Plux Set up toolbar icon, or click on “File”... -
Page 18: Data Collection
Data collection To collect data after the sensors have been duly applied to the patient, just click on the “Start” button to begin receiving and viewing the signal. Click on “Start” to begin viewing data from the received signal Click on the “Digital Output” icon to switch the digital canal on. After beginning the session, you may Pause or Stop the session. -
Page 19: Viewing
Viewing When you start to view the signal, you begin by seeing channel 1. To see the signals from other channels, you need to open a new channel viewing window. This action is automatic and sequential, so if you are currently viewing channel 1, on opening a new window you will see channel 2 and so on up to channel 8 and digital 1. -
Page 20: Other Definitions
One of the simplest ways to view all channels simultaneously is by using the Tile setting. This provides an organized overview of all the channels at once. Please note that when viewing all channels simultaneously, of you want to adjust the scale you will have to do this on a per-channel basis (see following section, “Other Definitions”). - Page 21 Other useful definitions that can be established for each channel include the colour and line type, as well as the signal Offset value, that is, the initial value, adjusting the value on the Y axis. To access these options click on the Channel Set up icon and alter the required parameters. Click on the Channel Set up icon 21/33...

Page 22: Save Session
Save session After finishing a session of data collection, and clicking on the stop icon to stop the session, you can save the data from the session. The Save As icon is only made available at this time.. When data is saved, a text file (*.txt) file is generated, allowing the researcher to analyse the data with the most suitable or preferred software. -
Page 23: Saved File
Saved file After saving the session data, the saved file can be analysed. To ensure that the researcher can use any number of tools to examine the data, the file is saved in text format (*.txt). This allows for analysis to be carried out using a variety of software tools, including MatLab, Python, Labview, Excel and so on. -
