1. Physilog 6S elements 2. Charging The Physilog 6S is charged via the USB-C port. Plug the USB-C connector of the cable delivered with the Physilog 6S to the sensor. Plug the USB connector to a Computer or charger (see voltage specifications below). Physilog 6S recording must be stopped for charging. Do not charge Physilog® when room temperature is outside of range 0°C to 45°C.
Supply Voltage specifications The Physilog 6S should be charged using USB at 5V, 100mA. For charging, the ambient temperature must lie between 0°C and 30°C. Power supply: 5V DC, 50/60Hz, 100mA 3. Recording with Physilog 6S There are several ways to start and stop a measurement with the Physilog 6S: 3.1. Standalone measurement Press on the main button (for about 2 secs, until the green light turns off) to start the measurement. During measurement, the Physilog® shines green.
3.2. Control the Physilog from a mobile application The Gait Up companion mobile applications allow to control the Physilog 6S sensor. Two modes are available in the application, for details refer to the user manual of the mobile application. There is no need to pair your Physilog® with the tablet prior to Bluetooth communication, just select the Physilog® from the list in the app. Troubleshoot: If a sensor is not detected by the tablet, gently shake the sensor to enter detection mode.
5.2. How to update Date and Time of the Physilog 6S Via computer: ⋅ Create a new text file on the Desktop of your computer or directly on the Physilog® sensor (on Windows: right click, new>text file, on Mac: open text editor and save file as text file) ⋅ Leave it empty and rename it to TIME (complete name with file extension: TIME.
⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ In the top right corner of the app click on the DFU button (on the right of “Disconnect”) and select “Distribution Packet (ZIP)” from the proposed options Get the new firmware file from where it was downloaded Wait until the graph in the app has shown that 100% of the firmware was transferred, this may take some minutes Disconnect the Physilog® by clicking on “Disconnect” and close the tab of the Physilog 6S Plug the Physilog® to the computer and update the date and time (see above) iOS ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅
⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Click on “Done” and disconnect phone from computer Open the nRF Connect app on the iOS device and enable Bluetooth Open DFU option of the app Click on “Select File” and go to the tab “user files” where you find the firmware added to the app earlier Gently shake the Physilog 6S to enter detection mode Click on “Select device” button and look for surrounding Physilog Select connect of one Physilog 6S sensors in the list Plug the selected Physilog to a power source to be sure to have enoug
Physilog®) is visible in the XLS or CSV file and the Matlab structure “header”. If you wish to adapt internal date and time of the Physilog®, read the section above. ⋅ Do not remove the “conf.bin” file from the Physilog, otherwise it will return to a default configuration. If this happens, update your configuration in the Research ToolKit software or contact Gait Up's customer support. 5.5. Maintenance and Disposal Cleaning: Before you clean the device make sure it is turned off and disconnect all cables.
Safety information ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Physilog 6S includes a lithium battery. This battery may only be charged over a limited temperature range. Never attempt to dock or charge your Physilog® 6S when the temperature is outside of the range of 0 to 45°C. Physilog 6S should be charged through USB connection with a computer. An external charger may be used; note that no charger is provided by Gait Up. Gait Up declines any responsibility due to charger usage. Supply voltage should be as follows: DC, 5V.
6. Sensor specifications Physical properties Dimensions 42,2 x 31,6 x 15 mm Weight 15 gr IP Rating Waterproof IP64 Operating Temperature From -0° to 35°C Fixation Accessories Application dependant, Belt clip and shoe lace clip included Straps available by Gait Up (sold separately) USB-C interface USB-C, High-speed USB 2.0 Communication Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Operating frequency range: 2.402-2.480 GHz (TX & RX) Effective radiated power (max): 11.
3D orientation 3D orientation of the sensor is calculated on-board during the measurement when in streaming mode. The Matlab function to read the .BIN file has the option to output the quaternions and Euler angles. 7. Troubleshoot Reset The reset is the manipulation which can be done if the Physilog® is not working properly. To do a reset, hold the main button for 5 seconds. The LED blinks red/orange and then stops. If the problem persists, fill out the contact form on the support page (www.gaitup.
8. Limited Warranty & Support Policy Warranty: Gait Up offers 12 months parts and labour on Physilog® starting from the date of delivery. If within one year from the date of delivery to the customer the equipment does not comply with the foregoing Limited warranty, Gait Up will at Gait Up’s option, repair, replace or refund the purchase price of the defective equipment free of charge to the customer. Customers requesting repair, replacement or refund are required to ship, the Physilog® to Gait Up.
9. Product compliance IC statement Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
IC - Canada (FR) Le présent appareil est conforme aux niveaux limites d'exigences d'exposition RF aux personnes définies par ISDE. L’appareil ne doit pas être installé à proximité ou être utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur. Note: The separation distance between the user and/or bystander and the antenna and/or radiating element of the device is of at least 20mm.
