- 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.
- Using the magnifying glass tool, zoom into a small region of the CNAP Blood Pressure channel.
- Using your cursor, click on a small region in the waveform and drag. A blue selection box will appear, indicating that your are expanding/zooming into this region.
- Your goal is to expand the channel waveform so that all systoles are visible.
- Using your cursor, click on a small region in the waveform and drag. A blue selection box will appear, indicating that your are expanding/zooming into this region.
- Go to Analysis →Hemodynamics → and select "Baroreflex Sequence Analysis" from the options menu
- In the Baroreflex Sequence Analysis menu enter the following settings:
- Highlight a single systole in the BP data and select "Systole Is Selected"
- 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.
- The following instructions correspond to the Baroreflex Slope Analysis

- Using the I-Beam tool, highlight/select the entire Rest Period
- NOTE: You must select the entire REST PERIOD waveform before proceeding to Step 5 below. If no selection is made, the analysis data cannot be populated.
- Go to Analysis → Hemodynamics → and select "Baroreflex Slope Analysis" from the options menu
- From the Baroreflex Analysis Menu, enter the following settings & click OK:
-
- Highlight a single systole in the BP data and select "Systole Is Selected"
- Software populates Baroreflex Slope Analysis on a separate window showing HR (ms) in Y-axis and Systolic BP(mmHg) in X-axis
- Note: Pairs may be excluded by checking off check boxes.
- Your original waveform now displays QRS complexes
