Once a license key has been procured and entered into the 

form, the ‘Enable’ button will become active.

To request a license key, click the ‘Request License Key’ 

button.  An  information  form  will  appear  with  the  details 

required by the customer services team, along with contact 

details. 

This information can be copied to the clipboard by clicking 

on the hyperlink. A notification message will appear at the 

bottom right of the screen. These details can then be copied 

directly into an email ready for sending to customer services.

Upon entering a valid license key, another form will appear 

to inform the user that the protocol has been enabled.

To  make  this  change  permanent,  the  user  must  still  re-

program the hand on the bebionic main form by pressing 

the

 ‘Send to Hand’ 

button. See section 5.5.10 for details on 

this function.

To  disable  an  active  External  Control  Protocol,  the  same 

steps can be used to do so. No key is required to disable 

this feature.

5.7 Electrodes

To monitor, review and adjust the electrode signals, select 

the ‘Electrode Screen’ button, to view the Myo Configuration 

/ Trainer window as shown below. 

5.7.1 Threshold Levels

The  sliders  highlighted  on  the  screen  are  used  to 

independently  adjust  on-threshold  and  maximum  levels  of 

the individual channels on the hand.

The Blue line shows the current ON threshold level.

The Red line shows the current MAX threshold level.

The  electrode  threshold  and  maximum  levels  can  be 

adjusted  using  the  relevant  sliders.  The  strength  of  the 

signal  is  displayed  as  a  green  vertical  bar  with  the  peak 

signal indicated as single green line. 

The animation enables modification of the threshold settings 

to be simulated without the need to keep sending data to 

the  hand.  The  hand  animation  will  open  and  close  in  the 

response to the electrode signals.

These  can  then  be  sent  to  the  hand  once  the  user  is 

comfortable  with  the  settings.  On  closing  the  form,  the 

settings  are  retained  for  configuring  the  hand  using  the 

‘Send to Hand’ option.
