Walk
Gait Up's PhysiGait Lab system can be used to measure various walking tests, the system
is designed for logged gait tests of various length and protocol such as 20m gait test, 6min
walk test or a figure-of-eight test. When measuring several different protocols or conditions
it is recommended to generate one sensor file for each, that is: start and stop the recording
for each test or refer to heel strike times.

Stop the recording
To stop the recording push the main button of the sensors for about 3 seconds.
In order to have the synchronisation of the sensors at the end of the measurement in
firmware v1.0.4
, you need to turn off the “slave” sensor first. This is the sensor that
remained green for some time at the beginning of the recording and which has a text file
called “slave.txt” on the internal memory. When pushing the main button, the LED will be
green and turn orange (red and green LED on), this is the moment when you can release
the button. The “slave” sensor displays the green LED on until it has received the
synchronisation from the “master” (“Finalizing” on the illustration below) after which it turns
off (with 3 rapid green blinks to mark successful data recording). You can then turn off the
“master” sensor in the same way, push the main button until the LED becomes orange and
then release the button.
For
later firmwares
(v1.1.0 upwards, released June 2017) it is not necessary to stop the
slave sensor first and wait for synchronization, the sensors can be turned off in any order.
When pushing the main button, the LED will be green and turn orange (red and green LED
on), this is the moment when you can release the button. The sensors turn off with 3 rapid
green blinks to mark successful data recording.
Between each start and stop of recording one file is created and stored on the internal
memory of the Physilog®5.

Start the recording from the smartwatch
Alternatively to the recording using the button of the sensors, it is possible to control them
from the remote control smartwatch application. To open the app, press the lower right
button of the included smartwatch.
