Introduction - Noraxon TeleMyo DTS Operating Document

2. Introduction

The TeleMyo™ Direct Transmission System (DTS) for surface electromyography
(EMG) directly transmits data from the electrode or sensor site to the receiver. This
direct transmission concept greatly simplifies the arrangement of EMG measurements by
eliminating the need to arrange cable connections between the EMG electrodes and EMG
amplifier. The small, light-weight probes are also beneficial for small subjects like children
and older adults. The Belt Receiver can operate in 3 modes:
1. Direct connection to any PC via USB connection (transmission range 10m)
2. Wireless retransmission of signals in real time to any Noraxon USB receiver
(transmission range up to 100m)
3. Data logging via Flash Memory card
These features give you flexibility to operate the DTS system without physical
limitations. The compatibility to Noraxon's USB receiver systems, operated via WiFi
based retransmission of data, allows you to integrate up to 8 additional stationary analog
input signals and optional analog output of all signals (i.e. connect signals to the VICON
motion capture system).
The current DTS system operates up to 16 channels, and is equipped with EMG
preamplifiers, but can be integrated with other biomechanical sensors like goniometers,
foot switches, etc.
As a user, you must first decide if you will be using the EMG system on its own, or
in conjunction with other equipment. The system is synchronized with the Vicon motion
capture system, but can be synchronized with other Functional Assessment (FA) devices.
This document will explain the setup of the TeleMyo DTS EMG system on its own,
and the setup for the system in conjunction with the Vicon system.
