TPR stands for Total Peripheral Resistance, and is calculated using the following equation: TPR = MAP/CO where MAP stands for Mean Arterial Pressure, and CO stands for Cardiac Output. Cardiac Output is a value already calculated in the Impedance application. MAP, on the other hand, is a value calculated from […]
KB0036: How to Load Edited Data
Each of the MindWare analysis applications has within it a graphical data editor which allows you to modify the signals it uses and the key points identified on those signals. Though each of these editors is different, there is a single process for how the applications store data edits, and how they […]

KB0034: How to Use R Peak Detection Settings
Detecting the R peak on the ECG waveform is crucial to deriving statistics related to Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Impedance Cardiography (IMP). In the MindWare HRV and IMP applications, you will find a tab labeled R Peak and Artifact Settings which contains within it settings related to the automatic R peak identification […]
KB0029: Troubleshooting Event Mode
Select analysis version to view the applicable content: Events, or key points of interest in a data file, can be used in the MindWare analysis applications to define segments of analysis. These events can be read from the data file itself, read from an event file, or detected from a […]
KB0027: Manually Creating a MindWare Event File
Select analysis version to view the applicable content: Event files contain timing information for all events captured during data acquisition. They are automatically created as a companion file to the data file (.mw) in BioLab 3.0. However, if you are analyzing a non-MindWare data file, this file will not automatically exist. […]
KB0026: Using MindWare Software Internationally
MindWare applications are used world-wide, but are developed using standard English (United States) formatting and operate under the assumption of specific formatting for numbers, dates, etc. It is therefore required that the computer running MindWare software be set to this same language format to ensure proper application behavior. This article will […]

KB0023: Analyzing an IBI File in HRV
Many low power and/or ambulatory data collection devices output a derived IBI series rather than the ECG waveform itself. For these situations, the HRV application supports analysis of an IBI series directly. Select analysis version to view the applicable content:
KB0024: USB Extenders
USB connections have a maximum length of about 5 meters (16.4 feet). However, there are many situations in which the device (such as a BioNex, keyboard, or mouse) must be placed much further than that from the computer to which they are connected. One way of dealing with this distance […]
