Force Lever (Utility or Software)

Summary


Use either the force lever utility or software in conjunction with Med-PC to acquire, display, and save data from up to eight (8) Force Levers (ENV-118M) simultaneously.

  • Quantifies lever responses in a user-specified force range
  • Med-PC tells force lever to start and stop recording
  • During recording, Med-PC calls force lever functions to determine complete and/or partial responses
  • The utility functions identically to the software, except it cannot make real time graphs
  • NOTE: For more distinction between the utility and software, refer to the table below
