Notes
Active Channels
Single. We are typically recording from one channel only and this conserves energy.
Sample Freq
12KHz (6KHz). Sampling rate of the Medusa4Z. 12KHz yields improved signal fidelity in the ABR
signal frequency range.
Impedance Frq
1KHz. This is the frequency used for the built-in electrode impedance tester. 1KHz is the closest
frequency to the ABR signal frequency range. See
electrode impedance.
Highpass Filt
3Hz. Built-in highpass filter conditions the signal before it is digitized.
Auto Shutdown
Optionally set the Medusa4Z to shut off automatically when not in use. This allow users to run
their normal protocols, and then power off if the user no longer operates the PreAmp. This will
save future users from a dead battery.
Caution
Use the POWER button on the top of the Medusa4Z to turn it on and off. There is an ON/OFF (RESET) switch on
the side which completely disconnects the battery and loses all user settings. You should only use the ON/OFF
(RESET) switch if storing the Medusa4Z for an extended period of time.
