Advanced Configuration
NOTE: All BioNomadix Transmitters are shipped with all factory presets established for recording optimal data, and
modifying these settings is not recommended. It is possible to adjust these configurations, but note that doing so can
adversely affect data quality and accuracy.
Right-clicking the transmitter image at the top of the Setup Wizard will display the “Advanced configuration”
contextual menu, allowing access to additional settings.
Like the Basic transmitter options, Advanced transmitter options vary by transmitter type, but an option common to all
transmitters is “Enable test mode.”When selected, the transmitter will output a continuous 4 Hz sine wave signal.
This test mode signal may be used to check radio performance and other communications issues.
The Advanced Configuration menu also provides an option for unpairing the selected transmitter. To unpair the
selected transmitter, choose this option and follow the prompts.
The Advanced Configuration menu adds a Calibration option for the following transmitters only:
·Pulse Plethysmogram and Electrodermal Activity (BN-PPGED-T)
·Goniometer (BN-GONIO-T)
·Dynamometer and Electromyogram (BN-DYNEMG-T)
The Calibration option can be used manually to initiate the transmitter calibration sequence in the AcqKnowledge
software. If calibration is performed manually, the settings are stored for as long as the transmitter remains paired and
does not need not be repeated. See page 18 for more information about calibration of the above transmitters.
For default advanced configurations for all transmitters, see pages 22-25 of the BioNomadix Spec PDF.
Accessing Smart Center Setup within the AcqKnowledge application
All Smart Center Setup Wizard options referenced on the previous
pages can also be accessed within the AcqKnowledge application.
When AcqKnowledge is launched with Smart Center connected, Smart
Center appears as a stand-alone hardware menu option.
Choose the “Smart Center > Set Up Signals and Smart Center…”
menu item to access the Setup Wizard for transmitter pairing and other
configuration options without having to exit the application.
NOTE: After changing configuration options in the “Set Up Signals
and Smart Center”screen, click the button in the
lower right of the screen to apply the changes.
Limitations when Smart Center is connected:
·If a transmitter is paired to both a BioNomadix Logger and a
Smart Center, note that only one of these units should be
powered on at a time. To use the paired transmitters with a
Logger, the Smart Center should be disconnected from the
computer. Conversely, to use the transmitters with the Smart Center, the Logger should be turned off.
·The “Set Up Signals and Smart Center”and pairing options are not available during data recording. A
warning dialog will appear if these options are selected during recording.
