This guide will help you to quickly set up the ADInstruments CODA®
Monitor with LabChart soware and its corresponding Device Enabler
that allows the CODA®Monitor to stream data into LabChart.
This document was, as far as possible, accurate at the time of release.
However, changes may have been made to the soware and hardware it
describes since then. ADInstruments Pty Ltd reserves the right to alter
specications as required. Late-breaking information may be supplied
separately.

Installation
Install Soware
1 Ensure that LabChart for Windows 8.1.18 or later is installed, prior to
installing ADInstruments CODA® Monitor Device Enabler. LabChart
soware can be downloaded through the ADInstruments website:
https://www.adinstruments.com/support/labchart#soware-downloads
2 Install the ADInstruments CODA® Monitor Device Enabler via
• USB pen drive (supplied with any Rodent NIBP CODA Monitor Set)
connected to your computer’s USB drive.
• Using the Feature Manager in LabChart soware and ensuring
that it is enabled.

3 Exit LabChart soware.

Conscious Animal Preparation
1 Place the corresponding CODA NIBP Rodent Holder on the infrared
warming pad. You can use the disposable warming pad covers to
prevent soiling the warming pad.
2 Place both RightTemp sensors (pad and body temperature probes)
beneath the rodent holder. Secure the sensors if necessary.
3 Allow the rodent to freely enter the CODA NIBP Rodent Holder with
its tail extending beyond the hatch of the holder.
4 Slide the corresponding Occlusion Cu and then Volume Pressure
Recording (VPR) Cu onto the tail of the animal. They should t
closely, but still be able to slide freely along the tail.
5 Place a blanket over the setup if required, ensuring that the animal
still has access to breathable air.
6 Allow the animal to acclimatize. Ensure that the animal has
acclimated to the holder and that the tail temperature has reached
35-37 degrees Celsius before taking any measurements.
Anesthetized Animal Preparation
1 Prepare the infrared warming pad. You can use the disposable
warming pad covers to prevent soiling the warming pad.
2 Place the anesthetized animal on the warming pad.
3 Place and secure the RightTemp pad sensor beneath the animal.
4 Insert the RightTemp body sensor into the rectum of the animal.
Secure the sensor if necessary.
5 Slide the corresponding Occlusion Cu and then VPR Cu onto the
tail of the animal. They should t closely, but still be able to slide
freely along the tail.
