2.3 Time setting
By default, time is configured in the sensor. After a complete discharge, the internal time of
the sensors has to be updated. To update the time, connect your sensor to your computer
and add an empty text file named “time.txt” in the main folder. The file must imperatively
be saved in
“.txt” format. When the time is not correctly configured, your files are saved in
the “NO_DATE” folder in the sensor. If the time is correctly set your files are saved in a
folder with the measurement date. If you start the sensors from the watch or the
application, the time is automatically updated
and you thus don’t need to follow the
instructions hereabove.
2.4 Fix the Sensors
PhysiRun lab package contains two rubber clips to fix the sensors on the shoes and elastic
straps to measure barefoot running, for example.
Insert the Physilog
®
5 in the rubber clip, slide the sensor into the clip on one side, then
carefully pull the rubber of the opposite side to cover the edge of Physilog
®
. The USB plug
should match with the hole in the rubber clip so that the sensor can be charged without
removing the clip. Then, strongly fix the sensor in several shoelaces to maintain it as much
as possible and avoid parasitic movement. The exact orientation of the sensor is not
important, the software automatically finds it. The sensor can also be attached to the outer
side of the shoes.
WARNING: If the sensor is not correctly attached the data analysis could fail or
be less precise than expected.
