Features

New

• Supports new Masseter Headphone System!
• Updated Drug Reference
• Added Administrative Opinion to the Final Call options
• Lafayette PI-DAS can be used as an EDA sensor
• New Multimedia Bar shows duration of multimedia presented
• Ability to see unique serial number of attached DAS

Standard

• LX6 Support
  • Requires LXSoftware version 11.7.1 or above
• Compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11
  • Mac support is also available via Parallels® or another virtualization software.
• New Respiration Line Excursion (RLE) Tool
  • The RLE tool measures the ratio of the relevant response divided by the comparison response and produces a suggested pneumograph score. As the examiner selects a relevant question, the tool normalizes it to all other questions on the chart and displays the R/C measurement ratio.
• New ESS-M Report Generator
  • Uses scores from the manual score sheet to formulate a printable report and summary conclusion paragraph to describe the test results of event-specific and multi-issue exams.
  • Report includes both a categorical result and a statistical classifier in the form of a p-value, confidence level or odds ratio, and also includes the manual scores and information about test accuracy.
  • NEW ESS-Multinomial (ESS-M) reference distributions
  • Support for the vasomotor (PLE/PPG) sensor
  • Bayesian analytic model in the ESS interpreter
  • A test of proportions to calculate whether artifacts are random or possible countermeasures
  • Support for two-stage and sub-total scoring rules
• PLE Pulse Amplitude Tool
  • A virtual sensor derived from the PPG sensor providing a visual comparison of the pulse amplitude changes in the PPG data around the question onsets.
• EDA Design
  • Automatic: classical high-pass filter solution to EDA signal processing. Attempts to keep the trace centered on a common baseline.
  • Manual: examiner is in charge of controlling the sensor trace via centering, sensitivity, and slope adjustments. The slope may be adjusted via a slider control under the sensor arrow.
  • Detrended: hands-off solution with extremely high correspondence with the manual EDA. Attempts to keep the trace centered on a common baseline, but the sensor trace is not permitted to dip below its corresponding sensor arrow.

Specifications

Minimum Computer System Requirements*

• Intel^® 5th Generation or newer or equivalent AMD processor recommended
• 4 GB RAM
• Requires .Net Framework 4.7.1
• 20 GB available hard drive for video recording
• Windows 10, 11
• 1280x800 or higher monitor resolution
• Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 1GB of memory
• Audio Output
• Keyboard and mouse or compatible pointing device
• Available USB 2.0/3.0 Ports. Connecting a video camera to an external USB hub is not recommended.
• Digital sound card required for multimedia capabilities.
• Digital video camera required for video capture. Logitech or Microsoft web camera recommended. Many popular IP (networked) cameras are supported by LXSoftware.**
• External Microphone may be required for recording audio, depending upon host computer's configuration (e.g. no built-in microphone), examine / examinee location, ambient noise, etc.

* Additional resources may be required for certain video devices. Always consult the documentation for any selected video device to ensure the host computer meets the stated system requirements.

** IP cameras may experience audio/video lag or other undesirable behavior. The use of a directly-attached camera is highly recommended.

Windows Compatibility Statement
LXSoftware remains compatible with Windows 7 and 8, but Microsoft has ended support for both operating systems. There will no longer be updates or security patches for these operating systems. As a result of these changes, Lafayette Instrument Company highly recommends all users upgrade to at least Windows 10 in order to continue receiving the requisite updates for security and stability.
