Introduction

1.1 Basic concept
WhaleTeq Single Channel EEG Test System provides a single waveform to one or more lead electrodes of EEGs, for testing to IEC and GB particular standards. The following diagram shows the single channel concept:

WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test System - Single channel
concept

Via a SEEG 100, the system produces arbitrary waveforms (streamed from the PC with digital to analogue conversion) at up to ±1V, which is then applied to a precision 1000:1 divider to produce the voltages at up to ±1mV level (2mVpp). The SEEG 100 contains resistor/capacitor networks, dc offset, and relay switching to provide the full range of single channel performance tests in IEC, GB and JJG(F) standards.

The basic range of tests in the standards include, for example:

  • Sensitivity (accuracy of the μV/mm indication)
  • Frequency response (sine wave, and impulse tests)
  • Input impedance
  • Noise

For a full list of tests, refer to the standard together with Section 1.2.
The limitations of the system are as below:

  • Exclude CMRR tests (this requires a special noise free test unit, available from WhaleTeq)
  • There are 22 terminals (Ch1~Ch22) in EEG breakout box. However, there are only 9 terminals (Ch1~Ch9) could output waveforms, and the rest 13 terminals (Ch10~Ch22) are connected to ground. Please refer to section 2.2 for details.

1.2 Standards/Application
The following table shows the standards for which this system has been designed for, and includes any limitations:

Standard Clause(s) Limitations/Notes
IEC 60601-2-26:2012 201.12.1.101 201.12.1.101 all performance tests except

CMRR tests
JJG 1043-2008| 4.1 ~ 4.17| 4.1 to 4.17 all performance tests except CMRR tests
JJF 1390-2013| 5.1 ~ 5.17| 5.1 to 5.17 all performance tests except CMRR tests
JJG 954-2000| 3.1 ~ 3.9| 3.1 to 3.9 all performance tests except CMRR tests
JJF 1388-2013| 5.1.1 ~ 5.1.13| 5.1.1 to 5.1.13 all performance tests except CMRR tests
GB 9706.226-2021| 201.12.1.101| 201.12.1.101 all performance tests except CMRR tests

General limitation:

  1. This equipment is designed for use with isolated EEG circuits, as are generally provided for medical EEG. If applied to a non-isolated circuit, the noise may be excessive.
  2. In EEG breakout box, there are 22 terminals. But there are only 9 terminals could output waveforms, the rest 13 terminals are connected to ground.

WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test System - Connecting to the
EEG

Alternately the EEG device under test can be directly connected to the SEEG 100 module using a male D15 connector. The pin outs are:

1-Ch1
2-Ch2
3-Ch3| 4 –GND
5 –Ch9
6 –Ch8| 7 –Ch7
8 –Ch6
9 –Ch5| 10 –Ch4
11- NC
12- GND
---|---|---|---

Note: Ch10 ~ Ch22 connect to pin 4 each through a 10 KΩ resistor. Also, pin12 is the system ground.

2.3 Environment, noise reduction
A noise free environment is necessary for testing EEG equipment. This can be achieved relatively easily by (a) using a metal bench or metal sheet underneath the EEG device under test and the WhaleTeq SEEG test unit, and (b) connecting SEEG GND terminal to the sheet and also the frame ground (or EP terminal) of the EEG device under test: WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG
Test System - Metal bench

With this set up, turn the EEG device under test to maximum sensitivity, turn off the ac filters (if possible) and confirm that the level of noise is acceptable for tests. For most tests, this set up is satisfactory without any special efforts. However, for the input impedance test with the 620kΩ is in series the imbalance in impedance can cause high noise. For this test, the ac filter may be turned on. If the noise is still excessive, move to an electrically quiet environment or increase the size of the metal sheet underneath and around the set up.

2.4 Firmware Update

2.6.2 Main parametersWHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test System -
Main parameters

Amplitude:
Can be set in either mV or µV, changing one will automatically change the other to match. The waveform amplitude from -2 mV to +2 mV at a 0.001mV (1 µV) resolution. For all waveforms the amplitude represents the peak to peak value. For example, for a 1mV sine wave the actual waveform varies between +0.5mV and -0.5mV. This correlates with testing requirements in standards.

Frequency:
Set in either Hz. Continuous waveform (Sine, Triangle and Square), can up to 500 Hz, for pulse waveforms (rectangle, triangle), the frequency can also be referred to as the pulse repetition rate. For some pulse settings the frequency is limited to prevent overlapping pulses (limit to 5 Hz).

Pulse Width:
Apply to rectangle, triangle and exponential pulse waveforms only. For the rectangle, pulse width is defined as the time between crossing the 50% point in rising and falling edges of the pulse². For triangle pulses, the setting matches the base of the triangle pulse. For exponential pulse, the set pulse width is time constant. Pulse width can be set to down to 2ms³.

²To minimise ringing due to EEG notch filters, rectangle pulses have a rise time of 1ms. This means that a 20ms rectangle pulse will actually have a 21ms base and a 19ms at the top of the pulse. This definition ensures that the pulse integral matches the setting, e.g. a 3mV 100ms pulse will have an integral of 300µVs.
³Note the sampling rate is limited to 0.2ms. Therefore, a 2ms pulse will have limited time resolution.

2.6.3 DC offset setting

This function allows the operator to switch in a dc offset. In the default condition (not variable), only +300mV, 0 or -300mV can be set. In this mode, the dc offset is sourced from an internal “super capacitor” which at least 3 minutes of accurate and stable 300mVdc offset to be placed in series with the main waveform, without impacting the quality of that main waveform. The capacitor is charged while not in use (i.e. when the setting is zero).
In the variable mode, the dc offset is provided by a second channel. It is limited to 1000mV.

2.6.4 Input impedance test

This check box allows the user to switch in an impedance of 620kΩ//4.7nF in series with the main function, for testing the input impedance of the EEG device under test. When the check box is ticked, the impedance is shorted. The ±300mVdc offset can be used in conjunction with this test.

2.6.5 Output lead electrode This section allows the user to select which lead electrode the output is connected to (i.e. terminal P1 in the IEC 60601-2-26 and GB 9706.226, Figure 201.104). Unselected electrodes are connected to the system ground (terminal P2 in Figure 201.104).
More than one lead electrode may be selected.

2.6.6 Lead electrode impedance
As required in IEC 60601-2-26 and GB 9706.226, each lead electrode has in series 10 kΩ to simulate the skin impedance, all the 10 KΩ resistors built in the 22 channels breakout box.

2.6.7 Output graphic displayWHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test
System - Output graphic display

The output display provides an image similar to that provided by EEGs. The sensitivity of the display range may be set at 0.1mm/µV, 0.05mm/µV or 0.02mm/µV to cover the full range of waveforms offered by the system. The time rate is fixed. The output display uses the same data as used in the DAC output and serves as a cross check of the selected waveform.

2.6.8 Special functions![WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test System

Baseline reset test (sine wave only):
When checked the parameters are ignored and a large signal of 1Vpp (0.354Vrms) is applied. It is intended to test the EEG’s response to overload, in particular automated resetting of baseline (due to high pass filtering).
When unchecked, the system reverts to the previous settings (e.g. 1mVpp 10Hz signal). Mains frequency of the test can be selected from 50Hz or 60Hz.

Frequency scans:
Sine: may be used to test systems with extended frequency response. This system uses a fixed sampling rate of 5kHzwhich has been found to reduce problems of beating from other digital sources. If beating still occurs, a separate analogue input at BNC1 is provided to allow testing with analogue type function generators.

2.6.9 Special waveforms and load waveform
There are two features on the bottom right frame: “Special Waveforms” and “Load waveform”. For these two features, the amplitude and frequency settings have no effect.

Special Waveforms:
WhaleTeq SEEG can play PhysioNet waveforms with 1 electrode at each time. This feature will download waveforms from PhysioNet directly. Please check your internet status before use this feature.

The SEEG built-in databases are as below:

  • EEG Motor Movement/Imagery Database (eegmmidb):
    Each volunteer performed different motor/imagery tasks while 64channel EEG were recorded. Here for more details.

  • CHB-MIT Scalp EEG Database (chbmit):
    This database, collected at the Children’s Hospital Boston, consists of EEG recordings from pediatric subjects with intractable seizures. Each seizure is annotated. Here for more details.

Load waveform:
The “Load waveform” function supports three formats – Text, Binary and EDF files.

Text (*.txt)

  • Ascii file, Windows line breaks (LF, CF)
  • first line is sample rate (Hz)
  • second line number of samples
  • following lines are samples in microvolts (one sample per line)

2.7 IEC 60601-2-26 and GB 9706.226 Helper

It is a companion software add-on to enhance the function of SEEG 100. It supports the latest EEG standards IEC 60601-2-26:2012 and GB 9706.2262021 with detailed preset parameter settings and actual test sequence for testing needs.
Note: The GB 9706.226 standard assistant needs a separate purchase for its license. Please send the “Hardware ID” of SEEG 100 to WhaleTeq to purchase this function and receive an Activation Key.WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel
EEG Test System - IEC 60601-2-26 and GB 9706.226 Helper

2.8 Calibration and Software Validation
WHALETEQ SEEG 100 has undergone a detailed system validation including software. A report for this can be provided on request.
Prior to shipping, each unit is tested for component values and output voltages, using a calibrated precision multi-meter. As WhaleTeq cannot provide ISO 17025 accredited calibration, laboratories which are required to follow ISO 17025 should perform calibration either periodically or on a before use basis, following normal procedures and practice. The extent of calibration may be limited depending on the needs of the laboratory.
As the calibration procedure is complicated, a software assisted calibration mode is provided. The software sets up the SEEG as required for the particular tests, and instructs the user on what measurement to make (e.g. measure resistance between ch1 and ch2).

WHALETEQ SEEG 100 Single Channel EEG Test System - Software
Validation

The user then enters the results into the form provided, and the software checks if the results are within allowable limits. When complete, the results of calibration are automatically copied to the notepad and stored in a text file at:
C:\WhaleTeq\SEEG_Cal_yyyymmdd.txt
Where “yyyymmdd” is the date based on the PC’s system. If a fixed width font such as “Courier New” is used, the data appears aligned.
To calibrate 10kΩ simulated skin impedance in series with lead electrodes, please choose manual mode and measure EEG breakout box channels one by one from ch1 to ch22.
The following manual procedure is retained here for reference and explanation.

2.8.1 Calibration procedure

Parameter Nominal value, tolerance Method
Lead electrode resistance 10kΩ ± 1% The 10kΩ can be measured between ch1 and

pin 1 (25 pins, D type connector of EEG breakout box), ch2-pin 2, ch3-pin 3, ch4-pin 5, ch5-pin 6, ch6-pin 7, ch7, pin 8, ch8-pin 9, ch9-pin 10, ch10~ch22 all to pin 4.
Input impedance resistor| 620kΩ±1%| This can be measured as follows:
● Set Main function to “Off”
● Set output to ch1
● Uncheck “620KΩ/4.7nF”
Measure the resistance between ch1 and ch2
Input impedance capacitance| 4.7nF±5%| Measure as for the 620kΩ above, using a capacitance meter at 1kHz. Note: there is about 100pF stray capacitance in the circuit which is included in the measurement. However, even with this the measured result is within the limit.
Precision divider ratio (100kΩ:100Ω)| 1000:1
±0.1%| Resistance values are specified as 100kΩ and 100Ω ± 0.1%, but these cannot be verified once in circuit. An alternate method is used to verify the accurate ratio:
● Set up a 2mVpp 0.1Hz square wave to output ch1
● Using the Fluke 8845A or equivalent precision meter, measure and record the peak to peak voltage at BNC2 by zeroing during the negative cycle, and measuring at the positive cycle
(nominally 2Vpp).
| | ● Repeat this measurement at the output between ch1 and ch2 (nominally 2mV) Calculate the ratio and confirm it is 1000:1 ±0.2%
Output voltage| Setting ±1%| Method:
● Set up 0.2mVpp 0.1Hz square wave, output to ch1
● Measure the peak to peak output between ch1 and ch2, using the Fluke 8845A or equivalent, record this as output mVpp
● Repeat for 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5 and 2mVpp
● Confirm all values are within 1% or 5µV of the set value
Note: The Fluke 8845A has suitable accuracy at 10mVpp but has borderline accuracy at 1mVpp and lower. An alternate method is to measure the output at BNC2 and then use the divider ratio above.
DC offset (fixed ±300mV)| 300mV ±1%| Method:
● Set the equipment to “Off”
● Select +300mV
● Measure the voltage between Ch1 and Ch2
Note: the DC offset is sourced from an internal super capacitor which will discharge after ~10min. Tests in the standard are typically <<2 minutes.
DC variable| Setting ±5mV or 1%| Use the following procedure:
● Set the equipment to “Off”
| | ● Select the “Variable” checkbox
● Set to +200mV dc offset
● Confirm the value is 200±5mV
● Repeat for +600, +1000, -200, – 600 and -1000mV
Output frequency| Setting ±1%| Method:
● Set up 1mVpp 10/40Hz sine wave
● Measure the frequency at BNC2 using any appropriate meter
Note: this verifies the system clock is accurate. Verification of other frequencies or timing is not as this is covered by software validation, although users are free to measure other frequencies and timing. The use of 40Hz is recommended to avoid beating with mains frequency.

Software Development Kit (SDK)

WhaleTeq provides SEEG100 software development kit. All operating parameters and options have corresponding commands in the software development kit. The software development kit contains DLL (Dynamic-link library), which will provide highly efficient program binding and version upgrade, supports C/C++ header and C# interface, and can also be integrated with third-party tools and script languages.
