GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The vital sign monitoring (VSM) watch, EVAL-HCRWATCH4Z, is 
a modular development, demonstration, and data collection 
platform for high performance vital signs monitoring 
applications based on Analog Devices, Inc., analog front ends 
and sensors. 
It is a wearable, battery-powered device which enables the 
continuous monitoring and on-demand spot check 
measurement of photoplethysmography (PPG), electrodermal 
activity (EDA, bioimpedance-based), skin temperature, 
electrocardiography (ECG, biopotential based), and 
motion/activity (based on a 3-axis accelerometer). 
It allows for synchronized, multiparameter data storage on 
internal memory for later data retrieval and offline analysis 
and/or live monitoring on a PC (Windows®  OS) or Android 
or iOS-based device. 
PREPARING THE VSM WATCH 
Before using the VSM watch, proper preparations must be 
made. Ensure the battery of the watch is charged and the 
WaveTool program for PC is successfully installed. See the 
Powering Up the System for the First Time sections for 
installation instructions. The watch firmware must be 
upgraded using the VSM WaveTool.
