BATTERY LIFE AND MEMORY FOOTPRINT
BATTERY LIFE
The battery life is determined by the type and number of
sensors enabled, the sampling rate configured and is also
dependent on other configuration details such as the LED
current in the photoplethysmography measurements.

The VSM watch is powered by a rechargeable 200 mAh
battery.
MEMORY FOOTPRINT
The watch hosts a 512 MB memory.
The actual capacity of the memory is determined by the type
and number of sensors enabled and the sampling rate
configured.

Note : All the default usecases are designed to maximize
the performance. By modifing various parameters of the
AFEs one can achieve longer battery life and memory usage.
For instance in ADPD4100 the default gain in AGC algorithm
is set to 25K so as to get best PPG performance with various
skin tones. Setting the gain to 100k/200k and lowering
current value will result in significant improvement in
battery life.
