1. Physilog 6S elements 2. Charging The Physilog 6S is charged via the USB-C port. Plug the USB-C connector of the cable delivered with the Physilog 6S to the sensor. Plug the USB connector to a Computer or charger (see voltage specifications below). Physilog 6S recording must be stopped for charging. Do not charge Physilog® when room temperature is outside of range 0°C to 30°C.
longer than 3 months, please make sure it is fully charged once every three months. It may happen that the LED doesn't blink white at the beginning of charging after the battery was very low, to see the charging ongoing shortly push the main button or disconnect and reconnect after some charging time. Supply Voltage specifications The Physilog 6S should be charged using USB at 5V, 100mA. For charging, the ambient temperature must lie between 0°C and 30°C. Power supply: 5V DC, 50/60Hz, 100mA 3.
master sensor. To stop the measurement, push the main button of the sensors until the LED turns orange, you can turn off the sensors in any order. 3.2. Control the Physilog from a mobile application The Gait Up companion mobile applications allow to control the Physilog 6S sensor. There is no need to pair your Physilog® with the tablet prior to Bluetooth communication, just select the Physilog® from the list in the app.
Note: Bluetooth 4.0 or higher is required on the mobile device to be able to communicate with Physilog 6S. 4. Data Analysis Physilog® always saves raw data on its internal memory, except when streaming the raw data via Bluetooth using the “Raw data stream” functionality of the app. Users have access to the raw data through companion software called Research ToolKit (RTK). The RTK is available for computers (PC and Mac). Functions to read raw data inside MATLAB® are also available.
⋅ Disconnect the Physilog® from the computer to update the time and date to the time when the file has been created Create a new text file each time you update the date, do not just rename or modify an existing TIME.txt file (TIME.txt file previously created will update to the date it was created, so in the past). The TIME.
iOS ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Install the “nRF Toolbox” on the iOS device Download the latest firmware version to the iOS device Add the downloaded firmware to nRF Toolbox by connecting the iOS device to the computer: Open iTunes and select your phone Select the “Apps” tab on the left and scroll down Under “File Sharing” select the nRF Toolbox app and add the Firmware file to the Documents list Click on “Done” and disconnect phone from computer Open the nRF Connect app on the iOS device and enable Bluetooth Open D

Physilog®) is visible in the XLS or CSV file and the Matlab structure “header”. If you wish to adapt internal date and time of the Physilog®, read the section above. ⋅ Do not remove the “conf.bin” file from the Physilog, otherwise it will return to a default configuration. If this happens, update your configuration in the Research ToolKit software or contact Gait Up's customer support. 5.5. Maintenance and Disposal Cleaning: Before you clean the device make sure it is turned off and disconnect all cables.
Safety information ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Physilog 6S includes a lithium battery. This battery may only be charged over a limited temperature range. Never attempt to dock or charge your Physilog® 6S when the temperature is outside of the range of 0 to 30°C. Physilog 6S should be charged through USB connection with a computer. An external charger may be used; note that no charger is provided by Gait Up. Gait Up declines any responsibility due to charger usage. Supply voltage should be as follows: DC, 5V.

Sensor specifications Physical properties Dimensions 42,2 x 31,6 x 15 mm Weight 15 gr IP Rating Waterproof IP64 Operating Temperature From 0° to 30°C Fixation Accessories Application dependant, Belt clip and shoe lace clip included Straps available by Gait Up (sold separately) USB-C interface USB-C, High-speed USB 2.0 Communication Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Rf proprietary protocol for intrasensor communication Operating frequency range: 2.402-2.
3D orientation 3D orientation of the sensor is calculated on-board during the measurement when in streaming mode. The Matlab function to read the .BIN file has the option to output the quaternions and Euler angles. 7. Troubleshoot Reset The reset is the manipulation which can be done if the Physilog® is not working properly. To do a reset, hold the main button for 5 seconds. The LED blinks red/orange and then stops. If the problem persists, fill out the contact form at the bottom of the support page (www.
8. Limited Warranty & Support Policy Warranty: Gait Up offers 12 months parts and labour on Physilog® starting from the date of delivery. If within one year from the date of delivery to the customer the equipment does not comply with the foregoing Limited warranty, Gait Up will at Gait Up’s option, repair, replace or refund the purchase price of the defective equipment free of charge to the customer. Customers requesting repair, replacement or refund are required to ship, the Physilog® to Gait Up.
continuous support relationship. Consulting is subject to acceptance of a formal statement of work. 9. Product compliance IMDA Singapore statement Physilog 6S complies with the standards and specifications published by IMDA, is compatible with the public telecommunication networks in Singapore, and does not cause radio frequency interference to other authorised radio-communication networks.
following measures: a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. b) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. c) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. d) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with this equipment.
