In a polysomnography analyzer, what is the primary function of the time code generator? correct
answers Coordinate different readings during significant events
The time code generator helps establish a precise sequence of parameter changes during
significant events by synchronizing the time relationships between various monitored parameters
and audio-visual recordings.
