   Compatibility Notes

   1. Requires a Motion Detector Cable to connect to a DIG port on the interface
   2. Requires a BNC electrode
   3. Data can be collected using the sensor’s default calibration. Future software updates will support calibration modifications.
   4. This software cannot apply digital filters to EKG data.
   5. Software does not support the Data Tagging feature that is typically used with this sensor.
   6. Requires an additional signal source, such as LabQuest 2 running the Power Amplifier app or a computer running the Power Amplifier Function Generator Software, to control the Power Amplifier output
   7. Use with an electrode such as a pH Sensor, Conductivity Probe, or ORP Sensor.
   8. Software cannot calculate resistance or power data.
   9. This interface/software combination can only collect force data; displacement measurements are not supported.
