Typically, session start and end times are too broad for annotation purposes. For example, an
Armband may be worn for three hours, but the wearer was only exercising for the last 40
minutes. You can refine annotation start and end times from the Add Annotation window
(figure 17).
The Timestamp feature is used for highlighting a specific event in a data file as if you were
keeping a diary of the data collected, time, and corresponding activity.
For greater accuracy in your annotations, when using an Armband, use the Status button
(figure 18) located on your Armband. The Armband must be on-body for a Timestamp to
register. For example, if the wearer wants to add an annotation for the time they exercise, they
would press the Status button as they begin to exercise and when they finish. The software
allows you to view in detail the specific time of each Timestamped event and to add
annotations.
