Data Capture

To capture data the person performing the task must firstly have the sensors placed on the body.

Sensors must be assigned to the Etiscope app and should be charged prior to use. See Sensors.

#Sensor placement

Sensors in clip-on holders are placed on the body. Each sensor must be allocated in the correct position:

• rear of head (attach to cap, hard-hat or use supplied head band)
• base of neck (attach to clothes, collar or use supplied neck band)
• right and left upper arms above the elbow (use supplied arm bands)
• waist (attach to belt, trousers or use supplied waist band)
  

Fitting is quick and non-invasive. Holders are soft, comfortable and secure.

Ideally the sensors should not be on loose fitting belts, caps or collars as they are designed to collect body movement data that may be affected by excessively loose cloths. The shirt collar can be done up to reduce movement and a belt on the waist is preferable to being clipped to loose fitting pants. 

The sensors should be secured in their assigned holders with the blue light visible and at the top of the holder. For arms, this means when the hands are extended with the thumbs pointing up, the blue light is on the bottom like looking at your watch.
