Weird TCP readings.
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2013 10:17 am
Hi Coen and the rest of the BioSemi team.
I have been making some measurements using a plethysmograph (and later emg and gsr). I have been picking up the data with TCP, converted to 24-bit numbers and so on and everything looks fine except that sometimes the values are being subtracted by what looks like a certain number.
When I plot it it looks like this:
[attachment=2]figure_1.png[/attachment]
Which is very weird looking. If you notice the top it looks signal the signal that I'm interested in.
[attachment=1]figure_2.png[/attachment]
Which is very similar to what I saw in the actiview acqusition program.
If I remove all values below zero I get this:
[attachment=0]figure_3.png[/attachment]
Which is ultimately what I want, except that almost half of the values are removed.
What causes this? And how can I avoid it?
