4.2 MEA-IT Software Controls
4.2.1 Introduction
The MEA-IT software controls the impedance measurements with the MEA-IT device. Each MEA
is identified by its individual serial number, and all measurements for each MEA are stored in
a database file. A current impedance measurement can be compared to any previous one stored
in the database in order to identify changes in electrode impedance over time. It is also possible
to compare the measured impedances to reference values for any individual electrode type or
to highlight outliers. On a virtual MEA layout the impedance of each electrode is displayed in
an intuitive color code. This allows judging the status of a MEA at a single glance.
After installing the 'MEA-IT software you can start the program with a double-click on the
program icon.
When starting the MEA-IT software for the first time you have to select the path for the database
file. The following dialog will come up.
Either accept the default path or select a different folder for the impedance measurement
database.
