  • Page 20: Description Of The Sensor

    The measurable bandwidth for EDA signals in the literature is from 0 to 5Hz when a DC voltage is applied to the skin. The EdaMove 3 uses a sample rate of 32 Hz, to achieve an ideal tradeoff between exact determination of skin conductance reaction timing and preserving memory and battery.
  • Page 21 The EdaMove 3 utilizes a Bluetooth Smart interface to allow the sensor to connect with a gateway or a mobile phone for live applications. The Bluetooth Smart interface comes activated in the default configuration of the sensor. If this feature is not required, it can be deactivated by installing a different firmware.
  • Page 22 No LED active The sensor is inactive. Combinations of red and green blinking as well as red and blue blinking are possible with the appropriate combination of the above descriptions. EdaMove 3 will vibrate upon Bluetooth disconnection.

  • Page 29: Handling

    7 Handling This chapter describes how to prepare a measurement and how to attach the sensor to a test person. Furthermore you get information on how to save, delete and analyze data from the sensor. A typical usage scenario for the assessment of data and offline analysis is shown in the following diagram.
  • Page 30 The different steps are described in further detail in the chapters indicated on the right of the diagram. If you want to use the sensor in combination with the experience sampling platform movisensXS, the different steps to use the sensor are shown in the following figure. Unlike the offline measurement, the measurement is initiated on your mobile device.
  • Page 31 To retrieve the data from the EdaMove 3, you have to read out the sensor after the measurement. The results of movisensXS only contain the sensor information that causes a trigger.

  • Page 32: Charging The Sensor

    Charging the Sensor Step 1: Connect the cradle with the USB cable to a USB port (USB port of your computer or another port that conforms to USB standard like a USB hub or USB charger). Attach the sensor with the help of the push buttons on the cradle. Please make sure that the 4 contacts are connected (marked red in the picture).
  • Page 33 If you want to recharge the sensor, you first have to remove the electrodes from the test person. If recharging while taking a measurement DO NOT to plug it into your PC as that will stop the measurement. Instead use a USB charger. When recharging the sensor you have to ensure that the battery is fully charged (until the sensor is blinking yellow).
  • Page 34 If the sensor is discharged completely (e.g. after a long period where it was not used), it can take up to several minutes until the sensor reacts and can be identified by the computer. You can check the battery status before the measurement with the sensor manager, see the following section.
