Olympic Polygraph Inc. utlizes Apple Macintosh Macbook Pro 17" Intel Core I5 and Macbook 13" Intel Core 2 Duo platforms. The Macbook is utilized as a backup platform. Apple's Macbook Pro model is housed in a rugged housing, milled from a single solid block of aluminum. 
 
An examiner using computerized platforms,  utilizes advanced Lafayette Polygraph software, and specialized algorithms provided by John Hopkins University/Applied Physics Labs, and experts in the field of polygraphy, to evaluate physiological data collected during a polygraph examination.  In addition, the computerized platform also allows examiner's to manually evaluate their polygraph chart data using scientifically standardized scoring protocols, identical to those used to score printed analog polygraph charts. This provides for quality assurance in that any distortions or artifacts are excluded from the evaluation and scoring process. Countermeasure detection and evaluation is another important component in this software package.
 
While the computer polygraph system software is cutting edge in terms of its collection and evaluation of physiological test data, it is only advantageous when utilized by a highly trained polygraph examiner adhering to established rules and standards.
 
An example of computer generated polygraph chart data is shown at right with the Macbook Core 2 Duo platform.
