Data Analysis

The SpikeWatcher PA family of units stores all data in an Access database.  Spike is a graphing and reporting tool that retrieves the SpikeWatcher PA data for any specified time period, and displays it in the format most useful for analysis.

Spike is a graphical program that manages and displays the data. One or two channels can be graphed simultaneously. Sharp changes (transients) and background readings are identified in different colors. This graph shows transient data that was recorded in its summary form to reduce your analysis time.

Alternatively, SpikeWatcher PA can record the individual points recorded during transients as shown here.
