User's Manual

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. Please

refer to the RTK user manual for more details.

USB data transfer

Data saved on the internal memory of the Physilog® can be accessed using USB data transfer.

Therefore, plug the USB cable to the Physilog® and a computer. The Physilog 6S connects to the

computer like a USB key and files can be accessed. One file for each measurement is created and

files are stored in folders depending on creation date (YY_MM_DD). The file name is composed of

a file number (increasing from 01 to 99), the body location (as defined in the configuration, f.ex.

'LF') and the sensor serial number unique part (4 digits). Copy-paste the files to your computer

for analysis. From here you can also rename folders and files or delete the files from Physilog®'s

memory.

It is recommended to copy-paste the files from the internal memory to a computer and delete

the files from the sensor memory to avoid encountering memory capacity problems and to

simplify file identification when performing multiple recordings.

Warning: Do not remove the conf.bin file which contains the configuration information,

otherwise the Physilog® will return to a default configuration. If this happens, update the

configuration using the Research ToolKit or contact Gait Up support.

5. Practical Considerations

5.1. Fixation

The Physilog 6S comes with two fixation clips as default attachment accessory, one for the belt

and one for the shoe laces. Additional clips and elastic straps can be purchased from Gait Up.

5.2. How to update Date and Time of the Physilog 6S

Via computer:

⋅ Create a new text file on the Desktop of your computer or directly on the Physilog® sensor (on

Windows: right click, new>text file, on Mac: open text editor and save file as text file)

⋅ Leave it empty and rename it to TIME (complete name with file extension: TIME.txt)

⋅ Copy-paste the file to the Physilog® if you saved it on the Desktop
