Re: Event Related Average module
That depends on whether the evoked responses also alternate in polarity. With ABR for example, that's not the case (so the noise trace still shows the noise).

Re: Active Two Questions (CM. ABR, etc.)
The trigger port needs TTL level signals. In order to connect an audio line signal, you will need to convert to TTL with a comparator and flip-flop. The accuracy of trigger timing is one sample length, see https://www.biosemi.com/faq/review_trigger_timing.htm

It is a custom made system for 16+3 channel ECG (LA RA LL is the Wilson Central Terminal). It is probably something like 20 years old.

Re: Editing 32-channels in default.cfg
Do not edit CFGs in Notepad.
Open ActiView, set the controls according to your preferences, make a short data file, select the "about" tabpage and save your front-panel settings in a new CFG.

Select the "analog" trigger format and trigger line 1-16 are displayed as colored dots/bars. Select the "decimal" trigger format and the triggers are displayed as two groups of 8 bit numbers.

The timing across the channels is only determined by the sampling moments.

The trigger channel is added in the USB-receiver with a precision of one s...

The photosensor does not output negative values. You can connect a signal generator to the ERGO (see https://www.biosemi.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=931&p=2854 ). Even easier is to connect a potentiometer (approx. 10k linear) between pin 1 and 3 with the wiper to pin 4 and pin 5 to pin 2 (ERGO will...

The above is correct. The ADCs output 24-bit data words. The USB-receiver convert these words into 32 bit integers by just adding a least significant zero byte. ActiView processes these 32-bit integers, but only the 3 most significant bytes are streamed to BDF file and sent via TCP/IP. The only proc...

Re: ActiView TCP server
What is sent by TCP/IP are the 3 most significant bytes of a signed 32 bit integer. The client should again construct the signed 32 bit integer from these 3 bytes (add a zero least significant byte). The MSB of the most significant byte is the sign bit.

Re: Strange Signal Drift
Drifts like that are usually caused by perspiration. The sweat disturbs the skin-gel-electrode interface. Try to maintain a comfortable cool environment for the subject. Be careful with fans because electric motors close to the subject may cause interference.
