Goodbye: The Armband has lost contact with your skin and is no longer collecting data. Timestamp: The Timestamp button has been pressed. Alert: The Armband cannot collect data because of: 1. Low Memory 2.
5. Once the configuration is retrieved, you should be looking at the SenseWear Parameters tab. From here you can customize the settings for each subject's body parameters. NOTE: If you are configuring Armbands for multiple subjects, you may choose to enter body parameters by clicking on the subject when you upload the data. Changing settings here will alter the subject's body parameters for the individual data file. 6. You can configure the data channels for the Armband by choosing the data channels tab.
Data Channels Tab The SenseWear® Pro2 Armband has 4 configuration options available for data collection. 1. Algorithims - This configuration is the minimum set of data channels need to calculate energy expenditure and lifestyle algorithims at a sample rate of once per minute. 2. High Rate - This configuration is for collecting High Rate data from the Armband. 3.
The estimated total collection time is affected by the number of times the Armband is off body. The more times the armband goes off body the more the calculation will overestimate the actual time. 5. Custom Channel Configuration With Lifestyle Algorithms - This is a procedure by which you can create a custom configuration that is capable of utilizing BodyMedia's Lifestyle Algorithms. 1. Load one of the above standard configurations on the armband (Algorithms, High Rate or Research) 2.
Averages and MAD's at one minute sample rates are comparable to those taken at any other sample rate. Additionally, the accelerometers can record peak counts. Peaks are points in the accelerometer signal where acceleration has reached its highest point relative to the samples immediately surrounding it. The point sample channels allow the experimenter to record all accelerometer samples acquired at 32 samples per second.
• • • • • • Description: Heat Flux is the rate of heat exchanged between two areas. In the case of the Armband, this is the heat exchanged from a person's arm to the outside environment. Channels: There are two heat flux channel. 1. Heat Flux - average 2. Heat Flux - MAD Technology: A proprietary sensor that uses materials with very low thermal resistance and extremely sensitive thermistors.
Near-Body Temperature • • • • • • Description: The air temperature immediately around the arm. Channels: There is one Near-Body Temperature channel. 1. Near-Body Temperature - average Technology: Temperature is measured using a highly accurate thermistor-based sensor located on one side of the Armband. Units: Degrees Celsius (°C) Calibration: Calibrated at manufacture. Scenario: When covered by a jacket or shirt, near-body temperature is similar to skin temperature.
3. Click the Data Channels tab. If you change the settings, make sure to apply them to the Armband currently attached via USB, before saving. 4. Click Save Settings then name and store your file. SenseWear Maintenance The InnerViewTM Research Software enables you to perform maintenance procedures on the SenseWear® Pro2 Armband.
Avoid exposing the Armband to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust, or mechanical shock. To prevent possible damage to the cable, grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the USB. Replace the cable if it becomes frayed. The Armband is splash resistant, but it is not designed to be used under water or come in continuous contact with water. To prevent a shock hazard, never use the Armband in water environments (e.g. in the shower, swimming pool, or rain).
If you are wearing the Armband, a subtle vibration and sound will alert you when there is less than 24 hours of battery life remaining. When the battery is too low to operate, the alert will become more urgent. In addition to the battery status light on the Armband, you can also view how much battery life is left every time you upload your data. The value is located below the upload status bar. To replace the battery, lift and rotate the top hatch counterclockwise.
CAUTION: Be careful not to overtighten the Armband. If, at any time, you feel constriction or loss of circulation, simply loosen the adjustable strap and refasten it to a more comfortable setting. Understanding Armband feedback The Armband makes a sound and vibrates when it wants to communicate something to you. Please be aware of main audio and tactile feedback: Turning ON Sequence Every time you slide your Armband on, it will make a series of sounds and vibrations indicating when it has turned on.
described as a series of 2 notes repeated 3 times in an alarm fashion (de-do de-do de-do). This sequence of notes is also accompanied by a short vibration, and the memory light will flash yellow. Memory is very low Sequence When you push the status button on the Armband and insufficient memory remains to collect more data, it will play the memory OUT sequence which can best be described as a series of 2 notes repeated 3 times in an alarm fashion (de-do de-do de-do).

Data Properties You may edit information for this data file by either clicking on the subjkect's name or choosing Data Properties from the View file menu. NOTE: Changes made here will not affect the Armband.
Time Selector The View Summary tab and Graph window contain an interactive widget that lets you specify the time range of the data you want to observe. Here are some useful hints to help you use it. The widget itself, (picture above) tells you the full length of the .swd file. The date and time of the first recorded data point is located in the upper left of the slider.
To choose what data you wish to see, select the check-box located next to the data series name. This will turn that data series "on" in the graph window. You can also select the color of the data series by using the color drop down to the right of the data series name. You can define the range of the y-axis to be the highest and lowest value within entire data file or highest and lowest value within selected time range. To do this, select View and then Preferences from the menu.
