Can I operate SAM without the optional PC / patient screen?
Yes. The neurocare SAM system can be operated without the optional PC / patient screen. A two‑screen setup is recommended, but it is not required for operation.
Single‑screen operation
SAM can be run using a single Windows computer. All core functions such as session control, signal monitoring, and system operation are available without connecting an additional patient screen.
Two‑screen setup (recommended, not required)
A two‑screen configuration is recommended because it allows:
- The therapist to monitor signals and session data
- The user to view feedback on a separate display
However, this setup is optional. The system does not require a second screen to function.
Display resolution considerations
When using one or two screens, minimum display resolutions apply. If screen resolution falls below the accepted minimum, the software may display a warning and close. This applies regardless of whether a second screen is used.
Notes
- The optional patient screen improves workflow and visibility but is not mandatory.
- SAM functionality is not limited when operating with a single screen, provided system requirements are met.
