Water Resistance

The wGT3X+ and wActiSleep+ are water resistant in accordance with IEC 60529 IPX7, or immersion in
one (1) meter of water for up to 30 minutes

Wireless

In addition to the standard features and functionality of their predecessor devices (GT3X+ and
ActiSleep+), the wGT3X+ and ActiSleep+ provide a wireless interface by way of the ANT wireless
communication protocol. This 2.4 GHz based interface allows for interoperability with millions of
already fielded nodes as well as provides a means of rapidly gathering device and/or subject
information. The wireless functionality can be disabled when not needed in order to increase battery
life.

Sensor Connectivity

One of the primary benefits of the ANT protocol being implemented on the wGT3X+ and wActiSleep+
activity monitors is the ability to seamlessly merge data from other relevant sensors. Some of the
device types currently supported by the ANT protocol are; Heart Rate Straps, Weight Scales, and Blood
Pressure Cuffs. The ability to integrate data from different sensors significantly increases the usability of
the devices.

Wireless Reporting and Control

In addition to enhancing and increasing the sources for data collection, the wireless functionality of the
wGT3X+ and the wActiSleep+ enables the user to perform many functions that previously required USB
connection or weren't possible before. Many functions can now be performed in the field rather than
requiring the researcher to be tethered to a computer in the lab.
Initialization
Both the wGT3X+ and the wActiSleep+ can now be fully initialized wirelessly. This can be performed
with a PC utilizing a USB ANT dongle or with ActiGraph's new ActiLife Mobile available on the iPhone
platform.
Device Status
Device specific status information can be obtained. Some of the items retrieved include; firmware
version, battery voltage, current mode, subject name, and device serial number.
