Galvanograph = - This is the longest and the third pen of the instrument.

The electrodes areattached to

the index finger and the ring finger of the left hand, or to the palmar and dorsalsurfaces of the left
hand. The electrodes used for obtaining the recording of the GSR or electro-dermal responses, are
fastened to the hand or finger by means of the passage of animperceptible amount of
electrical current through the hand or finger bearing the attachedelectrodes, a galvanometer unit
designed to detect changes in skin resistance of the subject.

Consists of:Color of ink bluea. Finger Electrode Assembly consists of:a.1. finger Electrode Plate and
Retainer Bond = attached to the index and ringfinger of the subject.a.2. Connecting Plug = attached the
system to the instrumentb. Recording Pen Unit = usually 7 inchesc. Amplifier Unit = designed to
support the galvanometer in converting electrical tomechanical current.d. Sensitivity Control = used to
adjust the desired size of tracingse. Centering Control = designed to center the pen on the chartprovides
recording of the variation in the flow of the electricalcurrent.

f. GSR Module = located inside the instrument that receives the reactions detected bythe finger
electrodes and moves the pen to record the reactions on the chart4. The Kymograph Component – This
is the chart-drive recording unit of the instrument. It hasa synchronized motor that drives the charts at
the rate of six (6) to twelve (12) inches per minuteand its speed constant is vital because the vertical
lines, which are spaced either at one-half ofan inch interval, represents five- or ten-seconds
interval on the chart. This provides thepolygraphist with a means of determining pulse rate and
the questioning space.KYMOGRAPH or chart driving mechanismChart roll arbor idler rollerPen table
