The mouse pointer was positioned on the central body of this Review, and the left mouse button double clicked to produce the Review Menu (RM). Set blocks was selected from this menu, which produced the block selection window. This was adjusted as shown below to obtain 10 second blocks commencing at the time where the event channels comes within a range of +/- 2000. In this recording, events are indicated by a voltage sent to one of the A-D converter channels - this voltage normally causes full range values (i.e. -2048) except when the event is present. The measurement program used is given at the end of these notes. |

The channel selection shown by the row of 1s to the left of each trace was then adjusted so that the eight EMG channels were activated for processing, but the event channel was not. RM, Process, Mean was then selected, by double clicking inside the body of Review#2. This produced a new Review showing just the first block. |

The OK button in this Review was then clicked, which opened the Results window, with the selection panel for Mean showing. The Results window was maximised so that this could be completely viewed. Desired results information was selected by following the steps shown in italics for each channel. On channel 8, the ‘terminate line after this channel’ box was checked. This resulted in the following: |

Stage 7 was then followed, the large button clicked to transfer the code to RFP. The RFP was saved with the name HESS1 PSYLAB automatically adds appropriate extensions. The RFP generated was as follows: (note that the remarks ‘average amptd lower to band 1’ have no effect and while intended to help the user understand the RFP, they are in fact misleading, owing to a bug in the program). select by review# |

The Results panel was then restored to normal size, and the OK button was pressed again in Review#3, this time causing the RFP to run and data to appear in the Results window as follows: |

The first number is the block number, and each of the subsequent numbers is average EMG for channels 1 - 8. Now the > button was clicked in Review#3 to move it on to the next block, then OK was pressed again, resulting in a second set of numbers. The Macro window at this stage showed as follows. Macro Record was turned off by clicking the Record button. |

The macro was then saved using Macro menu, File, Save macro as. in the name HESS1 At this stage the analysis was complete. The macro could now be run by clicking Run in the macro window or using TM, Macro, Run macro. When it was run, it produced a complete line of data for each block. The results could then be saved using Results menu, File, Save Results. The location of the file produced was either the \CPI folder or the raw data folder, depending on the setting of the last option in TM, Options. Results produced for the test data are as follows: |
