“PEN SOUND SIMULATOR
 Grass Instrument Division, Astro-Med, Inc, West Warwick, RI, announces the newly designed “pen sound simulator” for EEG and PSG systems. The unit, Model PSS-162, is designed to produce the audible sounds of a traditional direct-writing oscillographic recorder while the silent Grass Heritage digital EEG and PSG systems display and capture data. Up to 6 channels of conditioned analog signals from EEG or PSG can be interfaced to the simulator, which generates a composite audio signal to drive its powered speaker system. The unit also has two direct audio inputs for monitoring snoring sounds or other audible events. The pen sound simulator is particularly useful during multiple patient or semi-unattended recording. The compact unit can be placed out of sight, and the speaker can be positioned away from the recorder. (877) 472-7779.
