Instructions

We have assessment packages for BioExplorer, Infiniti, Brainmaster 2.0SE and Brainmaster 1.9 software. (Infiniti users will need to purchase the CD, Introduction to Biograph Infiniti for TLC Assessment, in order to gather the data for the assessment.) You can install as many of them as you want, they will not interfere with each other. However, if you have a Brainmaster and BioExplorer, you will probably want to use only the BioExplorer Assessment, as it provides much more information than the BM Assessments.

There are versions of the Assessment for BioExplorer users who have 4 or 8 channel machines. These include Designs, Reports and instructions that allow you to do the TLC in 16 channels with either 2 or 4 3-minute passes. The assessment works with the Infiniti version that Francois Dupont has developed that allows trainers using the Infiniti system to collect 18 channels of data in 3 passes.

The BioExplorer and Infiniti versions include power score information. Power magnitudes and percents are added to the Amplitudes page, Map page and Heads page. Alpha ratios and beta ratios (power and percentage) are included for all site pairs.

As of 7/29/08 there is a new version of the Assessment, TLCAssessPro v6.1, with a revised Analyze page.

To keep the number of pages manageable, some pages are hidden. As always, you should set up the assessment so that it fits the way you prefer to use it. Once the TLC is open, you may go to the Format menu in Excel and select Unhide to see a list of the hidden pages. If you use the Amplitude page or wish to see other pages on this list, you can simply unhide them (please don't unhide the Raw or Data or Data Power pages). If there are pages visible on the assessment that you never use or don't wish to use, you can select the page (bring it to the front) by clicking its tab at the bottom of the file, then in the Format menu, select Sheet: Hide.

For people using the ABCD Assessment Service, the folders also include the ABCD Info sheet you must fill out and instructions for implementing the training plans you will receive.

You must have a version of Excel later than 97 on your computer to use the assessment files. TLC does not support earlier versions of Excel.

Each package is in the form of a zip folder. Save the folder to your desktop. Open the folder. From the panel at the left, select "Extract all files." Click Next and Next. On the Finish screen be sure "Show extracted files" is checked, then click Finish. This will open a folder on your desktop with the assessment files in it. Open the Install Instructions Word file and follow the instructions. It's a good idea to move the zip folder somewhere where you won't confuse it with the extracted files, or delete it.

If you encounter any problems, contact us.
