Firmware requirements
The fNIRS sensor requires a specific biosignalsplux firmware version (v.3.4) to work. Please
follow the instructions in chapter 8 Firmware Updates & Upgrades to learn how to check
the current firmware version of your device and to upgrade or downgrade the firmware
to version 3.4. if another version is currently being used on your device.
You can download the correct firmware here (v.3.4 for SpO2 & fNIRS):
http://biosignalsplux.com/en/software/utilities
After checking and, if required, downgrading or upgrading your device’s firmware, remove
your device from the OpenSignals (r)evolution device manager and your computer’s
Bluetooth list and reconnect your device inside OpenSignals (r)evolution. If the firmware
change has been successfully, your device should now be displayed with an orange
biosignalsplux in your device manager (see Figure 56).

How to connect your sensor to your biosignalsplux
The SpO2 sensor(s) have to be connected to the ground port of your device. Connecting
this sensor to an analog input of your device will not work.
How to configure your sensor in OpenSignals (r)evolution
Open the OpenSignals (r)evolution device manager and select the device you have your
SpO2 sensor connected to.
In the device’s panel, set up channel 9 for signal acquisition, set the port (P) to 9 and the
channel (C) to 1 and select one of the available SpO2 options in the channel’s dropdown
menu. The different options are designed for different placement areas of the SpO2
sensor. We recommend selecting the available configuration that fits best your needs.
The following configurations are available:
• SPO2.ARM for applications where the sensor is placed on the subject’s arm
• SPO2.FING for applications where the sensor is placed on the subject’s finger
• SPO2.HEAD for applications where the sensor is placed on the subject’s head
