A large number of program settings are available to help you control the Analyzer. For example, you can choose how the display of EEGs is to be scaled when you open a data set. You can make settings that apply to the entire program in the Configuration group which is located on the File tab in the ribbon.

Your preferences include, for example, settings for the EEG views, scaling, the display of history nodes and transforms in the ribbon as well as the output of graphics.

User interface settings relate to the color of the main window and the arrangement of the dockable sub-windows in the program.

EEG view settings control the way EEG data is displayed in the main window. These settings allow you to determine the details of the individual EEG views such as grid view or mapping view. In addition to the global program settings, you can also make separate settings for each node and each EEG view.

The administration settings control whether the program settings are to be managed for each user individually and allow you to define the default settings for new users. Here you will also find technical settings such as the file paths used by the Analyzer.

To open the Preferences dialog box, click Preferences in the Analyzer button or choose File > Configuration > Preferences in the ribbon.

In the Views tab, you can specify how EEG data is to be displayed in newly opened windows. You can make separate specifications for non-segmented and segmented data.

To do this, you can choose the EEG view and montage that are to be used from a drop-down list (Default View and Default Montage). These settings are taken as the defaults to be used if you do not explicitly specify another view, for example by means of the Additional View command in the ribbon.

In the case of non-segmented data, you can specify the default length in seconds of the time interval that is visible on the screen in the Default Display Time [s] text box. In the Overlap Intervals [s] text box, you specify the number of seconds by which the intervals should overlap when you scroll in the EEG. If you select an interval of 10  seconds and an overlap of 1 second, then you will scroll through the EEG in steps of 9 seconds.

In addition, the Default Displayed Channels text box allows you to specify the number of channels that should initially be visible in newly opened nodes.

In the Scaling tab, you can specify how EEG data is to be scaled in newly opened windows. You can specify separate values for scaling in the time and frequency domains (Time Domain Scaling and Frequency Domain Scaling groups). Because averaged EEG data often has a different amplitude to non-averaged data, you can also select separate scaling values for before and after averaging.
