Solution

Ensure your base station has analog outputs. A base station with analog outputs will have (2) 68-pin connectors on its side, below the USB, Power and Trigger ports.

  1. Once turned on and paired, set each sensor to a mode that samples EMG at 1926 Hz. This will ensure analog outputs will be active when hitting ‘Start Analog’.
  2. To change sensor settings, click the located within the sensor icon, adjacent to the Pair button.

  1. Choose the appropriate mode. For EMG sensors, this can be done by selecting ‘EMG+Accelerometer’ or ‘EMG+Gyroscope’.
    1. Users are not required to collect accelerometer or gyroscope data, this simply places the sensors in a mode where EMG analog outputs are supported.
    2. The base stations 1-16 analog output connector will just contain EMG signals whereas the 1-64 analog output connector will contain EMG+ACC or EMG+GYRO signals.

Users should also be aware of the following details:

  • Analog outputs are supported for all Trigno Avanti Sensor types, except:
    • Trigno Galileo
  • All analog output signals are capped at a bandwidth of 500 Hz.
  • Delsys provides hardware solutions to convert the 68-pin connectors on the Base Station to open wire cables for screw terminal interfaces and BNC breakout boxes.
