Page 9: Accelerometer Assisted Synchronization
Page 9 of 28 BIOPAC Systems, Inc. Accelerometer Assisted Synchronization The Logger can be precisely synchronized with the eye tracking scene camera via the following method. Start the eye tracking and physiology recording. Place the Logger in view of the scene camera and quickly tap the Logger three times. The internal accelerometer will record the impact and you can later easily identify the onset of the impact in both the physiology data and the video from the scene camera. -
