How do I optimize my signal quality?

We are excited to share with you our latest video from our expert colleagues here at NIRx. In this latest release, Demetris take us step by step through the Signal Quality Guide. This guide provides you with the tips and tricks to make sure your signal quality is excellent before beginning your experiment.

This video goes through how to quantitatively and qualitatively assess signal quality.

In Part 1, Demetris takes us through how to assess signal quality. Part 2 shows how to troubleshoot the challenges when things are less than perfect. These two sections follow the Signal Quality Guidelines, available as a PDF on our Support Site. In Part 3, with the help of our colleagues, we show a real-time example of set up, checks, and troubleshooting.
