6.2 Subjects

Properties of 

Subjects

 were defined in chapter 1.1. This chap-

ter explains how those properties are changed and how new 
subjects are created with the 

Powertimer SW-300

.

Adding a new subject

To add a new subject, tap on the 

Subjects 

button in the 

Main 

View

. This enters the 

Subject Manager

 shown in Figure 39.

Figure 39

Edit Subject

 view

From the 

Subject Manager

 choose the 

Add New Subject 

ac-

tion and tap on the 

Do Action

 button. This enters the 

Edit Sub-

ject 

view shown in Figure 40

The 

ID

 field is mandatory and must be unique, since it identi-

fies the subject. If you try to add two subjects with the same 
ID to 

Powertimer SW-300

, it will complain and does not allow 

that. The 

ID

 should be the social security number of the sub-

ject, since that is most likely going to be unique even in the fu-
ture.

The 

Surname

First Name

 and 

Middle Initial

 identify the sub-

ject in the lists and selectors of 

Powertimer SW-300

. If you 

have multiple subjects with the same last name and initials 
within the same test group, you should use numbers as mid-
dle initials to separate them from each other. It is possible to 
have multiple subjects with the same last name and initials, but 
it will make things more complicated, since you cannot know 
which of them is going to be tested next:

• 

Doe, John J

 and 

Doe, Joe J

 will both be shown as 

Doe, JJ

To make things easier you can name them 

Doe, John 1 

and 

Doe, Joe 2

 (or 

Doe, John A

 and 

Doe, Joe B

), so they will be 

shown as 

Doe, J1

 and 

Doe, J2

 (or 

Doe, JA

 and 

Doe, JB

).

If the subject is female, tap on the 

Sex

 selector and change 

sex to 

Female

.

Changing birth date

The 

Birth

 field of 

Edit Subject

 view shows the birth date of the 

subject, or unspecified if the birth date is not set. Birth date 
must be selected before the subject can perform any tests. To 
change the birth date, choose the 

Change Birth 

action from 

the action selector and tap the 

Do Action

 button. This enters 

the 

Date Picker

 view shown in Figure 41.

Tapping on the up and down arrows at the top right corner 
changes the year (it takes some time to set the age of a 75-
year old subject) and tapping on the left and right arrows 
at the top left corner changes the month. After the year and 
month are located, tap on the day in the calendar and tap 

Save & Exit

 to save changes and return to the 

Edit Subject

 

view.
