Introduction to the Rubicon Polygraph
Developed in Odessa, Ukraine, and launched in 2023, the Rubicon Polygraph System combines advanced software with high-quality hardware to deliver accurate and reliable results. Its user-centric design and innovative technology make it a versatile tool for various settings.
Key Features and Functionalities
Software Installation and Compatibility
The Rubicon Polygraph software is compatible with Windows operating systems (versions 7 through 10). Installation is straightforward, requiring administrator rights on the PC. The software can be downloaded from the official website, and all necessary drivers and components are automatically loaded during installation.
User-Friendly Interface
The Rubicon software interface supports multiple languages, including English, Russian, and Ukrainian. It features a comprehensive control panel with menu sections for services, templates, languages, and help options, making it accessible and easy to navigate for users of varying expertise levels.
Advanced Data Acquisition and Analysis
The Rubicon Polygraph offers three operating modes: Polygraph, Neuro, and Neuro Polygraph. This flexibility allows for tailored testing based on the specific requirements of the examination. The system records physiological reactions such as skin resistance, pulse rate, and plethysmography with high precision.
Comprehensive Testing Capabilities
The Rubicon Polygraph supports all internationally accepted logging channels of high reliability, ensuring accurate and comprehensive data acquisition. Each logging channel is represented by several models of sensors, utilizing the highest quality methods of recording physiological parameters.
Component Layout and Design
The component layout on the printed board is optimized to eliminate the mutual influence of indicators for each logging channel, ensuring the highest quality of data. The printed board’s manufacturing quality is backed by a confident 3-year warranty period.
Polygraph and Activity Sensors
The Rubicon Polygraph and its sensors are housed in non-toxic plastic casings with a shielding effect, providing noise immunity and enabling field use. The ergonomic design of the sensor casings ensures minimal discomfort for the subject, enhancing the quality of registered indicators. Sensor cables with molded connectors and double shielding ensure reliable connections and prevent data distortion. The connecting polygraph cable is equipped with a filter for interference suppression in electrical circuits.
