3.2.6 Monitoring Activity Continuously
Next, you need a Data Display for monitoring the ongoing activity continuously.
Click on the toolbar or click Add Data Display on the Edit menu to add a Data Display
to your virtual rack. The Data Display displays the channels in the layout of the Channel Map
you have created or loaded. Channel maps are saved as *.cmp files. The default channel map at
first program startup is the 8x8 grid of standard MEAs (saved as 8x8mea.cmp). When you have
changed the channel map, the last used channel map is loaded automatically as the default.
For monitoring the ongoing activity continuously over a longer period, add the Longterm
Display.
Click on the toolbar or click Add Longterm Display on the Edit menu to add a Longterm
Display to your virtual rack.
The Longterm Display shows analog raw data and electrode raw data. You can display data
in a user defined time span from 1 second up to 60 minutes. The longterm display tool allows to
observe the development of the signals over a longer period. The Longterm Display displays
the channels in the layout of the Channel Map you have created or loaded. In the Longterm
Display the adjustment of the x-axis is disabled, and you cannot zoom in. The peak detection
is permanent selected (for more information please see chapter Peak Detection).
