2、foriginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide covers the minimum requirements for instru-men
3、tation (both analog and computerized systems), sensorsand operating software used in the forensic psychophysiologi-cal detection of deception (PDD). As a minimum, suchinstrumentation shall simultaneously record an individualsrespiratory, electrodermal, and cardiovascular activity.1.2 This guide does
4、 not prohibit additional components,which may be offered as supplemental measurements ofphysiological change. Additional recording components maybe used in addition to but not to replace the required minimumcomponents.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E 1954 Practice for Conduct of Research

7、ide E 2000.5. Minimum Requirements for PolygraphInstrumentation and Software5.1 A minimum of two channels of respiratory activity shallbe simultaneously recorded, one thoracic and one abdominal.5.1.1 A minimum of one channel of exosomatic electroder-mal activity, via resistance or conductance, shall
8、 be recorded.5.1.2 A minimum of one channel of cardiovascular activityshall be recorded.5.1.3 Additional channels may be recorded but shall not beused in place of respiration, electrodermal and cardiovascularactivity.5.1.4 The instrumentation and software shall allow a way tomark the recorded inform
9、ation with the following minimumnotations: identity of examinee, date and time, start of record-ing, pressure settings (when appropriate), gain settings, anyinstructions given examinee, stimulus onset, stimulus identifi-cation, end of stimulus, any answer given by examinee,standardized chart marking
10、s, end of recording and any changesmade to the instrumentation or software during recording (suchas pressure changes, centering adjustments and gain adjust-ments).5.1.5 All mandatory channels shall be recorded within thesame instrument.5.1.6 All polygraphs should include a separate data channelspeci

Respiratory Activity6.1 Respiratory activity shall be recorded via pneumaticbellows or other transducers that give continuous measure ofabdominal and thoracic girth.7. Electrodermal Activity7.1 Electrodermal activity shall be recorded via skin resi
