Plié 2.0 Real Time Data Display 

The Plié 2.0 Real Time Data Display allows the viewing of live data as the user ambulates. The Plié 2.0 Real Time 
Data  Display  provides  a  data  rate  of 4  Hz  (4  samples  per  second). Due  to the  limited  data  stream  bandwidth 
(knee microprocessor data  rate is 1000  Hz), the Plié 2.0  Real Time Data  Display should not be used for setting 
the user

ʼ

s computer parameters. To access the Plié 2.0  Real Time Data Display, select the 

Live Data

 icon  in  the 

Plié  2.0  Control  main  window. To  stream  live  data,  select the 

Stream  Data

 icon. The Plié 2.0  Real  Time  Data 

Display is illustrated in

 

Figure C.

!

The Plié 2.0 Real Time Data Display is useful for verifying calibration of the sensors. If the user unweights 

!

the knee, the Moment trace should have zero value. If the knee is fully extended, the Angle trace should 

!

have zero value.

Additional Parameters

The 

Additional  Parameters

  window  provides  access  to  advanced  stumble  recovery  parameters  via  two  tabs 

(Level I & Level  II). To optimize the advanced stumble recovery parameters, follow  the steps provided in  the Plié 
2.0 Setup  Wizard. To access the
