Tri-Axial Mode Data Processing
This is similar to above except all three axes are utilized to form counts based upon a
peak vector magnitude.
1. The X, Y and Z axes are sampled with filtering at 3-11Hz.
2. The peak X

+ Y

+ Z

value is found per second.
3. The square root of the sum of squares is calculated and added to the epoch
sum.
4. This is compared to a minimum “not moving” threshold of approximately 0.1g.
Values below this threshold are ignored to simplify the final activity graph.
5. The values are scaled to produce a ‘Tri-Axial count’ for the epoch.
The diagram below shows the X, Y, Z orientation relative to the watch casing:
