Practical considerations
• Make sure Physilog® sensors are fully charged before doing measurements (LED shines green when
connected to computer or charger, you can also check with RTK>check>Battery level) to benefit from the
maximal battery life (given in autonomy section).
• For synchronous measurements with several sensors, make sure to switch them ON at the same time (5-
10sec delay) when they are close to each other. For example, put them all on a table and switch them ON
one after the other. Make sure that they blink green synchronously before placing them on the subject.
• Make sure to know which «.bin» file corresponds to which trial for your analysis – Last digits of file name
are automatically incremented. Note that date of file generation (recorded between one start and stop of
the Physilog®) is visible in the XLS or CSV file.
• Copy trial recordings to your computer, Physilog®4 is not the best place to keep and save important data.
• For Gait Analysis with Gait Up's Gait Analyser (only), sensors can be placed in any orientation, it will not
influence measurements.
• The Physilog® can be used outside. Warning: the sensor is not waterproof.
Handling
• Physilog®4 should be handled carefully. In particular, it should not receive
shocks, such as fall, crushing, being hit, ...
• Storage: Store in a cool (0°C – 30°C) and dry place. The provided suitcase is
the perfect place for your sensor.
• Cleaning: Sensors can be cleaned gently using alcohol wipes. Before you
clean the device make sure it is turned off and disconnect all cables.
Caution: Do not put any liquid nearby the micro USB port. Excess of liquid
may damage the sensor. Straps can be washed in a washing-machine.
• Make sure to plug the USB cable in the right way: contact pins should be
centered
• Sensors do not need yearly recalibration.
