Answer #1

1. Select the last two sweeps recorded from the Display Sweeps list. Superimpose these sweeps on each other by checking the Stacked box.

2.Select Title and T2-T1 from the Table Functions list.

3.  Click the 2-Cursor icon in the LabScribe toolbar. Drag the cursors to the peaks of the two compound action potentials. The value for T2-T1 in the table at the top of the ScopeView window is the time it took the action potential to travel the distance between the two positions of the negative recording electrodes.

4. Read off the T2-T1 value- 4.5m/s.

5. Calculate the conduction velocity (in m/s). Distance between the electrodes/4.5m/s.
