  1. From the AcqKnowledge home screen select: Open a graph file, Graph file on Disk, and click OK
    1. This will allow you to access files directly from the U: Drive


  2. Minimize all channels except Channels 5 & 9 that correspond to CNAP Blood Pressure & ECG respectively, by clicking on the triangle icon on the left hand slide of the channel number.  

  3. Using the magnifying glass tool, zoom into a small region of the CNAP Blood Pressure channel.
    1. Using your cursor, click on the a small region in the waveform and drag. A blue selection box will appear, indicating that your are expanding/zooming into this specific region.


    2. Your goal is to expand the channel waveform so that all systoles are visible.


  4. Go to AnalysisHemodynamics and select "Baroreflex Sequence Analysis" from the options menu


  5. In the Baroreflex Sequence Analysis menu enter the following settings: 


  6. Highlight a single systole in the BP data and select "Systole Is Selected"




  7. Results are populated to an Excel Spreadsheet

Results are also populated to existing waveform however updates are currently pending revisions do to a program crash.
