Glossary of Terms
myoMOTION Sensor -- A small individual radio transmitter typically worn on the body used to
measure and transmit motion related signals. The myoMOTION System can accommodate up to
8 body worn myoMOTION Sensors on one receiver, or can be configured with two receivers for
up to 16 sensors.
myoMOTION Serial Number – A unique four-character tag used to identify each myoMOTION
Sensor. The members of any myoMOTION network are determined by their serial numbers.
RF – (Abbreviation for Radio Frequency) Wireless communication takes place on assigned radio
frequencies or channels. For the myoMOTION System, RF transmissions occur at frequencies
between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz. Other wireless systems including WiFi and Bluetooth commonly
operate at the same frequencies and can be a source of interference.
RF Channel – RF transmissions for the myoMOTION System can be selected to occur on one of
24 different radio frequencies. The ability to operate over several different frequencies allows the
myoMOTION System to reposition its radio operation if needed to avoid interference.
RF Traffic – The presence of radioactivity present on a given frequency similar to the number of
cars on an expressway. Several users (wireless devices) may be communicating using the same
frequency. Best operation of the myoMOTION System occurs when the RF Traffic is low (no
other users) on the selected RF Channel.
Serial Number – A unique four-character tag used to identify the myoMOTION Data Logger.
