Changing Amplification
The WaveRider has user selectable hardware amplification. Each range of amplification is
numbered 1 thru seven in order of increasing amplification. The amplification is changed by
raising and lowering the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard when a strip chart window
has the input focus. The active window is the window with the input focus.
If the amplification is too high, the signal will crash into the top and bottom rails of the
amplifier. This will saturate the amplifier and will cause large parts of the signal to not truly
reflect the biological signal being observed.
There is a notch filter that blocks out the power distribution frequency. In countries that use
60 hertz power this is a 60 hertz filter. In countries that use 50 hertz power this is a 50 hertz
filter. There is a conversion kit available for individuals who operate between countries with
different power distribution frequencies. Since Japan uses both 50 & 60 hertz a special
version is available that filters out both 50 & 60 hertz.
