7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know that the battery of the device is fully charged?
When the battery is fully charged, the blue LED lights stays on continuously when the device is
connected to a computer with micro USB cable. Please remember to fully charge your eMotion
Faros devices before the first use.
In my last measurement the time and date of the measurement were totally wrong.
Why is that? How can I fix this problem?
When the sensor is delivered, the device clock is synchronized to the Finnish time.
This is why
the clock need to be synchronized before the first use.
Also, if the battery of the device has ran
out, the clock of the device may change. This is why we recommend you to synchronize the clock
of the device every time you connect the device with your PC (either when recharging or when
downloading data from the sensor).
Do I need a software for downloading measurement data from the sensor?
No, there is no need for a software in this case. Once you connect the device with PC via USB,
you can browse to the hard drive of the device (named “FAROS_...”) and copy/cut and paste the
needed files to your computer. If you wish, you can also open the measurement files directly with a
software from the device’s hard drive.
How can I reset my eMotion Faros device?
Start pressing the switch on / off button. Keep pushing the button until all of the LED lights blink
once (approximately 10 seconds).
How can I change the measurement modes of the device?
Go to the device hard drive Faros XXX (XXX is model, 90, 180 or 360). From this hard drive, you
can find the FarosManager.exe with which you are able to change the measurement settings. For
further information on how to use Faros Manager, please see chapter 3.
Which data format I should choose for my measurement, SDF (Suunto Data Format)
or EDF (European Data Format)?
If you wish to measure ECG or make markers to the measurement data, you
always
need to use
EDF as saved data format. If you are interested in measuring only R-R intervals (HRV) and
physical activity, you can choose between EDF and SDF. If you wish to save the HRV +
acceleration data to a text file format, then SDF is more appropriate. Both of these data formats
are rather global, which is why there are variety of software that can open these files.
