COMPUTERIZED POLYGRAPH LX6-S

Polygraph LX6-S

The Computerized Polygraph LX6-S is the next generation 10-channel polygraph system. The LX6-S is the world's most advanced polygraph (lie detector) capable of simultaneously recording changes in several physiological variables while the subject is asked a series of questions pertaining to a specific issue under investigation. The charts generated during the polygraph examination are interpreted by a polygraph examiner.

The LX6-S computerized polygraph records, stores, and analyzes physiological changes during a polygraph examination. It combines conventional polygraph procedure with a sophisticated state-of-the-art computer. With the basic system a total of nine channels can be recorded at one time.

THE LX6-S PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS

  • Superior Fischer Connectors brand connections
  • Electronic sensors cannot be incorrectly connected
  • Recessed pneumatic ports
  • Durable and easy to grip molded cables
  • Rugged molded and textured enclosure
  • Extended measurement ranges
  • Improved port layout and labeling
  • Enclosure weighted and designed for added stability
  • 32 Bit data resolution
