The EVEREST X is a sophisticated physiological recorder that opens new vistas for the medical researcher. A powerful, open-ended instrumentation platform, the EVEREST can perform a wide range of tasks that previously required a battery of separate instruments. With the ability to handle from 8 to 32 analog channels, a 18.1-inch touchscreen display for viewing waveforms and internal hard drive for capturing data, the EVEREST can handle most applications.

The EVEREST displays waveforms in real-time on a large, color touchscreen display located directly above the chart. Spanning the full chart width, the monitor displays all channels, which "waterfall" down to the chart. The display contains pen simulators, user-defined waveform templates and other information to give the user a quick indication of data. The touchscreen acts as the EVEREST user interface and is completely customizable, making it easy to be up and running quickly.

Very powerful and unique biomedical data acquisition systems can be configured by combining Grass signal conditioners and the EVEREST recorder. Physiological data including ECG, EEG, EOG, EMG, respiration, temperature, isometric tension and pressures are some of the signals easily recorded with such combinations.

Through its patented twin-head design, the EVEREST provides superior writing quality on a 16.3-inch chart. The 300 dot per inch printheads achieve laser printer resolution at any chart speed. With its wide format chart printout, the EVEREST gives maximum amplitude resolution no matter how many channels are used. With chart speeds from 1 mm/min to 200 mm/sec, the EVEREST is ideally suited for long-term trending or long-time base resolution printing.

The EVEREST also permits users to display real-time, numeric data on the front panel and remote monitors. From heart rate and systolic/diastolic/mean pressure to force and temperature, the EVEREST will display them all. With its 15 kHz frequency response, the EVEREST can handle even the fastest signals. It can be configured for 8-, 16-, 24-, or even 32-analog inputs — you never have to pick and choose which signals to record. Best of all, if it is desirable to add more channels at a later date, upgrading the EVEREST is easy. Simply slide an 8-channel input card into the rear panel of the recorder and it handles the rest. With internal signal conditioning to accept full-scale voltages from 500 mV to 40 volts full scale, the EVEREST is compatible with almost any research amplifiers.

The EVEREST comes in both a portable and a rackmount version, making it equally at home in a rack or stand-alone.
