  • Page 48: Key Terms

    7.3 Key terms Accelerometer: The device built into your Quantum 4000 Enhanced GPS unit that detects movement and its intensity. Amplitude threshold: This is a filter. It is the user programmable activity level that must be exceeded in order for the activity to be included in the data output.

  • Page 49: User Interface

    Smart GPS minimum count: This is a user programmable setting. It is the number of occurrences that the smart GPS threshold must be exceeded in order for Smart GPS to be disabled and a GPS location attempt to take place. This works in conjunction with the smart GPS threshold.

  • Page 50: Activity Sensor

    • In order to understand how different movements trigger different output data please use the graphical interface in the software program Motion20.exe. As you move the Quantum 4000 Enhanced unit in your hands you will see the output both numerically and graphically. Adjust the user programmable settings to vary the way in which the activity sensor detects movements.
