CHANNELS
WaveRider collects data on biological channels that are named by letters. Channels A & B
for the WaveRider jr./2CX and channels A, B, C & D for the WaveRider Pro.
WaveRider sends MIDI data out on numbered MIDI channels 1-16. It is important that the
MIDI channels specified do not conflict with each other.
USE CATEGORIES
WaveWare utilizes use categories to keep track of the type of data each biological channel is
acquiring. Use category is an assignment that a channel is given when the first window that
makes reference to it is opened. It is a somewhat invisible concept. The possible use
categories are BRAIN, HEART & MUSCLE. GSR is also a use category but GSR data can
only be acquired on the GSR channel.
Once a use category is assigned to a biological channel, WaveWare will not permit the
assignment of another use category to that channel unless all windows that reference that
channel are closed. After all windows that reference that channel are closed, a new use
category can be assigned by opening a new window.
When an archive file is recorded each channel is assigned a use category. When a
configuration file is created each channel is assigned a use category. In order to replay an
archive file through a configuration file, the use categories for each channel must match. If an
archive file and a configuration file are opened in which the use categories conflict, you will
be presented with a message that reads:
The file channels do not match the program setup
You will need to close the archive file and modify the configuration file so that there is no
conflict with the archive file. It may be helpful to look at the ARCHIVE INFORMATION in
the FILE MENU to see what use categories the biological channels have assigned to them in
the archive file.
