4.4.5 HEART-RATE MONITOR
Some of the first wireless devices handled are the Polar and ANT+ cardio wraps (Garmin, Suunto,
etc.).
If the patient wears the cardio wrap during the test, his/her heart rate will be recorded and
temporarily associated with the events of the test itself (e.g. with a jump, a step, etc.).
Starting from version 1.8, the OptoGait software can handle a series of external devices, among
which heart-rate monitors.
At present the following manufacturers and technologies are supported:
Polar WindLink:
USB stick using Polar W.I.N.D. technology 2.4 GHz for transmission; compatible wraps
Polar H2 (Hybrid 5kHz e 2,5Ghz)
WearLink®+ W.I.N.D.
ANT+
USB stick with ANT+ receiver (type ANTUBS2 or ANTUSB-m) developed by the ANT Consortium
An example for a manufacturer using this technology is Garmin (with direct distribution of the stick
under the name of USB ANT Stick™, compatible with the Garmin Premium Heart-Rate Monitor
wrap).
Our software supports all products of all members of the ANT+Alliance.
4.4.5.1 INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Insert the stick into a USB port and wait until the relevant manufacturer drivers have been installed.
Ask the athlete to put on the wrap following the manufacturer's instructions (e.g. moisten the part
touching the chest).
From the Utility menu press the <Devices> button and from the Wireless Devices selection press
<New Search>. If installed correctly, the device will be identified by our software with its internal
code.
