PPG Heart Rate Simulator Test System | User Manual

 

Former 

Version 

 

-

 

Background color is all white  

New 

Version 

 

-

 

Background color of PD Signal Display section is gray  

-

 

Two different PD scale ranges: “1000” and “10000”

 

 

 

1.5  Cautions 

 

 

We suggest warm up HRS unit for at least 5 minutes before testing. 

 

Before using HRS unit, please assure the distance between HRS diffusion 
film and DUT PPG sensor is fixed. Also, it requires to control the ambient 
light as it would influence the test result as well. 

 

PD sample rate of HRS is lower than 8ksps (Normal) and 30ksps (High 
Resolution) 

 

If HRS software shows up “

S

aturated” in PD Signal Display section, it 

means the brightness of DUT is over the detection range of HRS PD.
