Trigno System Overview The Trigno Wireless Biofeedback System is a device designed to make EMG (electromyographic) and biofeedback signal detection reliable and easy. The system transmits signals from the Trigno Avanti™ sensors to a receiving base station using a time-synchronized wireless protocol which minimizes data latency across sensors.
Onboard EMG Sensor Trigno Avanti™ sensors support a low noise, high fidelity sensing circuit for detecting EMG (electromyographic) biofeedback signals from the surface of the skin when muscles contract. The sensor bandwidth can be selected between 10-850Hz or 20-450 Hz and the input range of the sensor can be selected between 22mV or 11mV depending on user needs.
or if it is exercised within 3 seconds of pulling a sensor out of a charging pocket. Exposure to any magnetic fields outside of these 2 qualifying conditions will be ignored by the sensor. The internal magnetic switch is a feature which removes the need for a mechanical button resulting in improvements to sensor durability and performance.
Base Station Features Each Base Station is equipped with the following features: • recharging cradle for 16 sensors • high speed USB communication with PC • 64-channel analog outputs • ± 5V analog output range • detachable antenna • full trigger capability (Start/Stop, Input/Output) •...
Getting Started with the Trigno System Software Installation The Trigno EMG system is controlled by a PC through the USB port, and thus requires software. Trigno Systems include a Delsys Software DVD containing EMGworks Signal Acquisition and Analysis Software for interacting with the system Install EMGworks from the Delsys Software DVD or from www.delsys.com...
even when not in use in order to maximize battery life, as sensor batteries will self-discharge with time and will degrade if left uncharged for extended periods of time. Figure 2: Docking a sensor in the charge cradle (left). When docked, sensors will turn off and begin battery charging indicated by an amber LED indicator.
Figure 3: Ensure sensors are docked and charging for a minimum of 3 seconds and then removed from the charge cradle to turn on. Turning the Sensors OFF There are 4 mechanisms that will turn the sensors off: a) Dock Sensors in Charger: docking the sensors in the charge cradle will automatically turn the wireless communication system of the sensor off and engage the battery charging circuit.
Acquiring Data with the System Refer to the software user guide and help information for detailed explanation of software functions. Data collection and sensors configuration is initiated through the software. Configuring the Trigno Sensors Once paired to the system, EMG data and IMU data from sensor can be configured in the following ways: Electromyographic (EMG) Sensing Ranges Input Range...
The sensor is easily attached to the skin using the Delsys Adhesive Sensor Interface. muscle-fiber direction Figure 6. EMG Sensors must be properly oriented with the muscle fibers. Align the sensor’s arrow with the direction of the underlying muscle fibers.

alcohol to remove oils and surface residues. Allow the skin to dry completely before applying the interfaces. Adhesive Sensor Interfaces are for single use only. Immediately discontinue use if skin irritation or discomfort occurs. All Adhesive Sensor Interfaces and Reference Electrodes are for single use only.
Using the Analog Outputs The Trigno System provides simultaneous analog signal reconstruction of data being detected by all active sensors. These signals are made available on the 68-pin connectors located on the Base Station and range cover the +/-5V range Figure 4: Analog Output Connectors on Base Station.

Configuration Options for Trigno System Trigno System Information The Information tab presents information pertaining to the system and its settings. Figure 6: Trigno System panel. Transmission Frequencies Wireless communication occurs on varieties of frequencies throughout the acceptable 2.4 GHz spectrum. Four frequency sets are available (“A”, “B”, “C” and “D”) and are displayed in this field.
Trigno System Settings The Settings tab allows several system parameters to be modified as needed. Figure 7: Trigno System Settings panel. Frequency Set Use this setting to change the frequencies being used for wireless communication. The default set is “A”. The frequency set should only be changed if nearby sources are interfering with Trigno communications or the particular operating environment is causing significant path loss on the current frequency set.
Maintenance and Care Trigno Sensors Trigno sensor are encased in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure. The following points should be kept in mind when handling the sensors. • All sensors should be visually inspected before each use to ensure that no mechanical deterioration has occurred. •...
