Software Version 7 features a brand-new toolbar that provides quick access to the most commonly used functions. This streamlined design reduces the number of clicks needed to perform key tasks, making navigation faster and more efficient.
Click this to open the original popup menus.
Click on the toolbar button to disable the new toolbar.
Toolbar sections are color-coded, let's go through it section by section.
All Channels - When turned on, all channels applies any change you make to every channel of the software.
Runtime Quick Fix
Tools for optimizing test quality during testing
- Dim display - When working in a dark-adapted settings, add a red hue to the graph display background.
- Red LED - Enable a red background light in the ColorDome as a way to provide lighting in a dark-adapted setting.
- 50/60 Hz Noise - Toggle on the electrical noise filter if you see 50/60Hz electrical noise infiltrating the signal.
- No Auto Reject - If your patient is blinking or flinching so much that the test does not progress, try turning off the automatic rejection feature. This feature normally filters out signals that exceed the set noise threshold to ensure cleaner data. However, disabling it allows all signals to pass through, making it possible to complete the test—though with the trade-off of increased noise in the results.
When working with a patient who blinks at the onset of every flash, you can turn off the sound effects and manually trigger the stimulus to reduce anticipatory blinking.
- Sounds - Mute the ColorDome sounds so that the patient no longer hears a countdown to the flash
- Pause stimulus - This pauses the stimulus after each flash so that you can manually press "RUN" to elicit each stimulus
"Ready? Go ahead and blink, now hold your eyes open ..." Then click "RUN" to manually fire the stimulus.
Graph Scaling
- Y-axis scale - Zoom in or out on the waveform
- Y-axis shift - Raise or lower the vertical axis of each graph
Review Results
- Display SD[2] - Enable the display of [2] standard deviations of reference data; number of standard deviations may be adjusted
- Display FFT - Display the Fourier transform of the waveforms. Keep an eye on the frequencies in your signal. This is a bar graph shows the recipe for the waveform, including how much of each component freq are within the patient signal.
- Display 0V Line - Display baseline zero as a dotted line for each graph
- Auto Space - Separate results to view each one individually, this is based on the scaling; if you have difficulty fitting them on the screen, try shrinking the y-axis
Marker Placement
- Cursor On/Off - Turn cursors on to move markers on the graph
- Place Marker - Place the selected marker to the cursor location on the graph
- Auto Markers - Return the markers to their original locations based on the placement algorithm
Post hoc Filtration
- Overlay Original - Overlay the original waveform onto the edited version
- Remove Noise - Apply a notch filter to filter out a single frequency artifact from the results
- Smooth Filter - Apply a high or low bandpass filter to a result post hoc
- Toggle Trend - Reduce the upward or downward trend associated with eye drift during testing
- Reset Original - Undo any changes made by resetting back to the original waveform
Post hoc Result Cleanup
- Delete result - Delete the selected result; be aware of whether "all channels" is on or off
- Result Shift (up / down) - Shift the result up or down along the Y-axis. This can be used to adjust the baseline of a waveform if it does not align with zero.
- Next result - Move to the next result when editing
- Show sweeps - Show all sweeps that have been averaged into a single result, then double click on a sweep to remove it
