Screen Display User Explanations (by Code Letter)
A. Under File Menu pulldown, options include : Open - existing data file for redisplay, Save and Save As to store data files from most recent session., Close, and Exit Commands.

B. Help Files: Refer to this document.

C. & D. Raw voltage data display for Channel 1. (Black), Channel 2. (Red.). Note the RED Channel user is ALWAYS the cable plugged into the device next to the little lite bulb on the front of the hardware device. The bulb lights RED during device initiation, and blinks during shutdown. The RAW display of voltage is similar to EKG, ECG - when connected to the wrist electrodes. Brainwaves, and also lifeforce plant and electrosmog voltage displays are also possible here, depending on which transducer is plugged into the HeartTuner, and also depending on the GAIN control setting (see U. below.).

E. Slider control E. sets the RELATIVE gain on the RED channel. This allows 2 users to balance their relative input raw data for more balanced autoscaled data displays in the harmonic 'waterfall' plots. A small adjustment is useful here if the RED or BLACK user has a weaker heart voltage input signal. This can be caused by many variables including skin conductivity, wrist strap tightness, and of course heart strength - even body fat affects the heart voltage at the skin. Remember, moving this to the RIGHT INCREASES the GAIN on the RED channel. When comparing Heart with Brain phase lock, it is recommended you set the U. gain control to EEG for the RED channel, then AFTER the signals have gently stabilized (no head movement for more than 5 seconds or so), gently adjust this E. slider for the RED channel up and down to the RIGHT roughly 75 to 95% of the way, until gradually you begin to see come coherent harmonics in the (Ref) brain wave spectra (graph F.). The higher ratings on this slider should never be necessary for ECG work in both channels, but useful when in the HIGH gain EEG modes (switch U.).

Note about autoscaling: ALL of the plots in the HeartTuner displays are AUTOSCALED. This means that the relative height or amplitude of all displays automatically adjusts itself to maximum display resolution depending on the averaged input signal size. This is very useful in one important respect in that even when input signals are very low OR very HI the display will auto adjust to give you the most visible graph space possible to SEE the SHAPE of your data wave. Because of this feature however, it is very important the user understand, that WHENEVER you get a BIG noise peak (typically your subject has moved suddenly), the data display jumps to lo resolution to display THAT peak (which is probably NOISE). The solution is PATIENCE. Be still and wait for the data the re-settle to a nice baseline. In some cases on the 'waterfall' plot harmonic displays ( F & M ), this means waiting until the whole SERIES of plots where the noise happened scroll up off the screen (10-15 plots can take a minute or two.) Also remember that even noise your cannot see initially (like lots of room static electrosmog at a higher frequency), CAN effect the autoscaling. If you suspect you have some higher frequency noise, try clicking the LIN versus Log plot switch (at K. and to the right of S.). First on then off.

F. Standard Power Spectra harmonic 'waterfall' time history plot. This is a common way to analyze the 'musical' harmonics present in a biological signal. The bandwidth here from 2-20 hertz is the same window (or 'radio station' tuner waverlength) used to study brainwaves (Alpha, Theta, Delta,), used to study Heart Coherence , and used to study the Shumann resonance lo frequency planet magnetic 'heartbeat'. HOW TO USE THIS PLOT: This plot can be double clicked to expand to a FULL SCREEN display (as can the M. 2nd or Septrum coherence plot bottom left.) To close the full screen view, just click close in the standard windows top right 'X' box.

G. Is the 'cycles per second' or hertz of each of the 'musical note' harmonics contained in your heart or brain or plant, displayed with time history (waterfall).

H. This vertical slider bar controls the AMOUNT of space vertically between graph lines in the vertical waterfall of both Power Spectra, and Coherence displays. We recommend approximately 80% for the initial setting here.

I. Angle Checkbox. When checked causes the vertical waterfall display plots to cascade at an angle - 'walk' gently to the right as they are plotted up the screen.

J. The Pan /Zoom check box. Checking this box alternately, allows you to ZOOM - that is click on the SCALE numbers of the harmonic display (G.) and drag it right or left. This allows you to see higher frequencies displayed (up to 100 hertz or so depending on sample rate.). This is particularly important when checking for enviornment electrical noise ( There is a 50 - 60 cycle filter built in - nominally set to 50 hertz. If you need 60 hertz filter - U.S. it is located in the Device.ini file ). Clicking on the Pan/ Zoom again allows to to use the mouse to drag select ANY area in the rolling graph and ZOOM in to plot ONLY that area. If you zoom in too far and want to reset, just click the Lin/Log toggle K. on then off.

K. The Lin/Log toggle check box, allows you to display the harmonics as a Log plot instead of linearly. In effect this makes higher frequencies visible in one plot, but compresses the right hand side of the plot together with somewhat less viewing resolution. Generally again, this is useful for checking higher frequency environment noise and electrosmog, but is usually OFF when viewing heart and brain harmonics.

M. Is the graph display window for COHERENCE and musical KEY. This graph is unique to HeartTuner, based on application of the second order FFT / Power Spectra (Septrum) to the measure of coherence in biological and general signals, pioneered by Dan Winter. The waveform of the first order PowerSpectra is input to a second order FFT/Power Spectra (Septrum). The waterfall time history display presents a powerful new way to learn about COHERENCE in yourself, or and living thing. The AMPLITUDE or height of the first peak (left) of this display is the measure of coherence. If the harmonics of the first order Power Spectra get into a nice evenly spaced 'cascade' or musical chord, then this peak grows. We explain to kids, that learning to get COHERENT in your HEART (literally coherent emotion / emotionally intelligent), is like learning to turn your Heart from a flashlight into a laser. It's beaming reaches farther. Try this trick, connect yourself to the HeartTuner, get relaxed and peaceful, then glance for a second or two at someone you genuinely are feeling LOVE for, and watch this peak. Tell us what you see?

We believe that, while the medical literature is right, that being stuck in one frequency is a bad health indicator, that the heart still chooses COHERENCE by inviting MANY harmonics into itself ALL in phase. This process of perfect non-destructive branching in nature is called PHYLOTAXIS and is based on Golden Ratio. This does not mean that your heart always wants to be including so much of the world in its beat electricity. It does mean that, you may wish to gently learn the FLEXIBILITY to move up and down this EI. scale.

The first game to play with the HeartTuner is thus simple. Learn to RAISE this coherence peak. Many experiments suggest this peak only goes up (shows COHERENCE) when your heart is HAPPY. It appears this MAY replace muscle testing as a way to check to bodily approval. (kinesiology measure). We have noted repeatedly that this peak goes up when you SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.

(Q.) Secondly, the numeric value (position) of this peak (the Q. scale) is called the E.I. Emotional Index number. And is displayed at the top left of this graph. This number, corresponds to a.) the inverse of the MUSICAL FUNDAMENTAL (Musical Key), of your heart 'realtime'. (With profound implications for re-tuning your bliss music - see the Heart Valentine Game Heart Music output). Also, b.) this number corresponds to the inverse of the average distance between harmonics in the Standard Power Spectra above.

The powerful 2nd, thing to learn using HeartTuner is to move this peak at will. If you need help, try doing something to move your heart RATE. At first, ability to get heart rate flexing is related to people learning NOT to be couch potatoes. Later, this heart muscle flexing (Heart Rate Variability / HRV ) becomes intimately tied to your abililty to fire your heart for EMOTIONAL reasons.

We call eliciting this - LEARN COHERENCE - then LEARN to FLEX EI. up and down - the 'Come on Baby - Light My Fire' response!

The 3rd recommended GAME to play with this scale, is for 2 people to learn to synch up their heart music. When the peak (EI) of two persons match, they are said to be 'HeartLinked'. This means that 'getting on the same wavelength' for sharing feeling, MAY now be measureable. This has profound implications for EMPATHY training, counseling, conflict resolution, and also romance and tantra. The technical term for this 'entrainment' on heart harmonics which the HeartTuner makes measureable, is called 'micromotion entrainment' or 'impedance matching'. What happens is that when the biggest electrical circuit (the Heart) of 2 bodies phase locks, it is possible for them to efficiently exchange CHARGE. This becomes a vehicle for profound direct 'faster than light' biological communicating. 'All human interactions are about CHARGE' - Celestine Prophecy. Read more about charge entrainment and life force. (Ref. Lifeforce Article) - These experiements make it possible to use HeartTuner to check when you have sent love or emotion to a tree or plant as well .

The 4th Game to Play involves the GEOMETRY of this EI Number Musical Peak:

N. O. & P. Blue lines on the Heart Tuner Screen. Correspond to E.I. numbers ( & musical fundamental inverse) of N. = .618.. Golden Mean Ratio, O.= Abouve .79 the Square Root of .618 Golden Ratio, and P.= EI of 1.0. Experience with thousands of users of the HeartLink and HeartTuner has shown that a large percentage of people when they stabilize are stay somewhere for extended periods in EI. or heart music KEY (tuning), they USUALLY choose ONE of these three places. Naturally, we began to ask questions about why this was so. Geometrically, the electrical shape of the donut voltage waves firing the heart would be CUBIC when this is 1.0. Versus when it is at .62 that lattice structure of the heart's electrification would be PENT. Cubic structures CREATE membranes, PENT structures BRIDGE membranes. Psychologically speaking BOTH SKILLS ARE USEFUL.

We asked many people to characterize the EMOTION associated with these positions, and a table was prepared subject psychological input from groups in Spain and California:

Figure on the left: This table should NOT be taken literally. It is subjective. However it is true that emotional openness is probably more associated with .62 EI. Yet NO user should feel frustrated about moving up and down there, because - there are many psychological and physical needs that vary this heart rate music related phenomenon.

In GENERAL terms, the left blue line (.62) probably does suggest a little more tendancy to OPENNESS and TOUCH PERMISSION. The right Blue Line (1.0), suggests a bit more structure making, and intellectual satisfaction. The center line (square root PHI ), is subjectly suggested to relate to a peaceful balance stability between the wet making membrane (.62) and the hard making/ structure making membrance (1.0).

S. Start / Stop / View Log File Button. Click start to begin displaying data. Click Stop to shut down data. It is important to click STOP to shut hardware down, before quitting program, or you may need to unplug / replug HeartTuner in to computer, to reset - when you restart HeartTuner. (Hardware red light comes on at START, and blinks white- during shut down.).

NOTE: THE STOP BUTTON ON THE HEARTTUNER SOFTWARE TELLS THE HARDWARE TO DO AN ORDERLY SHUT DOWN, WHICH YOU CAN CONFIRM BY NOTING THE WHITE BLINKING LIGHT. IF YOU TRY TO RESTART THE HEARTTUNER SOFTWARE, WITHOUT AN ORDERLY 'STOP' SHUTDOWN, YOU MAY GET AN ERROR MESSAGE (unable to access hardware). IF THIS HAPPENS, MERELY UNPLUG THE CABLE TO THE COMPUTER FROM THE HARDWARE, WAIT 5 SECONDS AND RECONNECT - THEN PROCEED.

T. Selects WHERE the data log file will be stored. Note this log file is called log.txt. This allows to to click 'OPEN" under file - then browse to this raw data file, and then replay and re-analyze full data session files. NOTE: IF YOU WISH TO KEEP THE RAW DATA FROM A SESSION EITHER RENAME THE log.txt FILE AFTER DATA 'STOP' COMMAND, OR HIT SAVE-AS UNDER FILE AFTER DATA STOP. OTHERWISE, EVERY TIME YOU RE-CLICK THE DATA 'START' BUTTON, YOUR log.txt RAW DATA FILE IS OVERWRITTEN.

This switch also controls where the EIdata.txt file is stored, which contains only the recent EI and coherence number. This is important to allow import to game (Heart Valentine) software to import interactively. NOTE: IF THIS DISK ADDRESS IS SET TO A FOLDER THAT DOES NOT EXIST, YOU WILL GET AN ERROR MESSAGE ON START.

Your raw data file log.txt contains ALL the input numbers. The EIdata.txt file is only updated interactively with the last EI and coherence number measured (keeping only 1 pair of numbers at any time) to allow GAME programmers easy access. You are invited to examine and learn about both files by opening them in Spreadsheet software (like 'Excel' or 'Lotus' etc.).

U. Sets each channel GAIN from standard (ECG) to High Gain (EEG). EEG / Hi Gain is also used for plant / tree/ life force measures (capacitive). Inductive (coil input) electrosmog measure can use lo gain (ECG). Use Hi-gain only when you are sure you are not over saturating the pre-amp - IF THE RAW DATA (channel A /B top left) is over 5 volts plus or minus - then your gain may be too high. Recommend setting the RED right channel 2. to higher gain EEG / when comparing ECG to EEG - for head / heart link up training.

IMPORTANT NOTE: BECAUSE THE HEARTTUNER TAKES THE GAIN INPUT CONTROL TO SWITCH THE DEVICE INITIALIZATION PERAMETERS - ALWAYS SET YOUR GAIN BEFORE YOUR BEGIN YOUR FIRST DATA START. IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE GAIN, IT IS NECESSARY TO STOP THE DEVICE, QUIT THE HEARTTUNER SOFTWARE, THEN RESTART THE SOFTWARE (restarting computer should not be required).

V. An additional linear / log scale display option for Harmonic Power Spectra (without time history waterfall).

W. The IDENTI-PHI software concept / proposed by Dan Winter, and written by Dan Kunkle (do see BioWaves.com ) allows user to see CASCADES where harmonics proceed by a series of wave length MULTIPLICATION RATIOS. A PHI cascade 'chirp' or heterodyne' -like a caddeuceus input, would show up here (blue lines at .62 versus 1.0, versus 1.414 - square root 2). HeartTuner software will soon be linked to sound healing software! Missing heart harmonics, 'healed in sound', and vice versa.

X. Heart Rate Variability display - (example plot above). Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is one of the most important measurements of heart health known today. By displaying HRV more dynamically (faster refresh time) the HeartTuner is 'state of the art' in helping users FEEL almost 'real time' how to change it. HeartTuner displays HRV for one channel at a time (2 at once would complicate the display and slo down CPU response). The button at X switches which channel (person A or B - B is the one plugged nearest to the red 'ON' light) is seeing their HRV. Note here: it takes fully about a minute for HRV data to appear since it takes that long to get nice lo frequency data input. Since this averaging will carry over when you switch users, expect to wait a minute or 2 before expecting the HRV display to reflect the NEW user - NOTE: We recommend you simply hit STOP, wait 10 sec. for device close. Then switch HRV channel input X. Then START the data input again. NOTE: ignore the HRV display when you are measuring brainwaves or other 'life force'/'electrosmog' inputs.

Y. Heart Beat Interval (Interpeak time graph) / 'Tachogram'. This display (channel A OR B depends on switch X for HRV) goes up and down to reflect the time (milliseconds) between heart beats. Breathing IN raises heart rate slightly, OUT decreases it. As a result, THIS GRAPH BECOMES IN EFFECT A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO BECOME CONSCIOUS OF YOUR BREATH - AND IT'S NICE GENTLE WAVE BECOMING 'NESTED' TO YOUR HEART HARMONICS. see HRV and breath.

Tip for Apple users

The HeartTuner has been tested on Apple Mac computer using Virtual PC vs.5.0. Be sure to set USB on in the Virtual PC options - we suggest specifying 64 samples second speed on the HeartTuner. While HeartTuner runs in this environment, unless you have a fast Mac - it is likely the sample rate will get ahead of the display rate after a couple minutes - resulting in an undesireable delay of feedback time from actual emotional experience time. You can periodically restart the display as a workaround. We are working to optimize for this enviornment - meantime we can provide only limited help for Apple Mac users.
