Logging in to BrainMaster
1. Press “Login to BrainMaster”
2. Enter the following information:
3. Serial Number: (your device serial number)
4. PassKey: (use PassKey from BrainMaster Technologies)
5. Click on “Remember PassKey” to save login information

7. Email: Your email (this will be used to pre-address emails created using Session
Librarian, from folders that you create and distribute
8. Press “OK”
9. Dialog box will appear showing results of login
Note: If
you use “Remember PassKey”, then you will not have to log in again, on that PC. The system will automatically log you in, whenever the software is run.

Creating, Setting up, and Sending Folders to Remote Trainees
NOTE: files can be sent via. Floppy Disk, email, CD, or any means desired
1. Start software in usual manner
2. Press “Folder Selections”
3. Press “Create New Folder”
4. Input name, ID as appropriate
6. Select Settings File to start with, press “OK”
6. Adjust settings as desired NOTE: Check Number of Sessions, etc. carefully
7. Press “Use These Settings”
8. Press “Folder Selections”
9. Press “Session Librarian”
10. Follow prompts to make Floppy Disk or Email as desired
11.
If neither Floppy or Email are used, the file will be found in: c:\brainm.20\archive and will be named e.g. “smitjohn.bmz”.
12.
You can email or copy the file from the archive directory and provide it to client in any way desired.
13. When trainee receives file, they need only DOUBLE-CLICK on the “bmz” file.
14.
Trainee should follow the prompts, allowing BrainMaster software to unpack and install the file.
15.
The new folder e.g. “smitjohn” will now appear as a choice, when Folder Selections is used on the trainee’s PC.

THRESHOLD MODE (AUTOTHRESHOLD OFF):
“t”, T”, “a”, “A”, etc. change the THRESHOLDS (microvolts)
Changes are 0.1 microvolt up or down
THRESHOLD MODE (AUTOTHRESHOLD ON):
“t”, T”, “a”, “A”, etc. change the TARGETS (percentage)
Changes are 1 percent up or down
Use <Tab> to switch between two modes:
If Component labels are highlighted:
“t”, T”, “a”, “A”, etc. change the FREQUENCY BANDS (cycles/second)
Changes are 0.5 cycles/second up or down (whole band moves)
CHANNEL SELECT MODE :
“1” = “channel 1 only”, “2” = “channel 2 only”, “0” = “both channels
