

ForconnectingsensorsVinciLabhasfouranalogandtwodigitalBTinputs,which

allowveryfastdatacollectionupto1000000samplespersecond.Twoadditional

sensors,aninternalmicrophoneanda3‐axisaccelerometer,arebuilt‐in.Thedigital

sensorinputscanalsobeusedascontroloutputsforcontrolofeight1‐bitortwo

analogoutputs.



ThepowerfulCoach6Application,pre‐installedonVinciLab,offerslivesensordata

ETTINGSTARTED



1.TurningVinciLabOn

ToturnVinciLabOn

PressthePowerbuttononce.WhileVinciLabisbootingthemessage‘VinciLabis

starting.Pleasewait.’isdisplayed.Waituntilthedevicefinishesitsbooting

procedure,whichtakesaboutaminuteanddisplaysitsstartingHomeScreen.



Note:

Actualscreenimagesmayvary,dependingonthesoftwareversionofyourVinciLab.

2.PoweringVinciLab

Aninternalrechargeablebattery(Li‐Poly3.7V,4000mAh,locatedinthebackside

compartment),powersVinciLab.ThebatteryicononthestatusbaroftheHome

Screenindicatestheactualpowerlevel.

VinciLabisdeliveredwithitsbatterypartiallycharged.Thedevicewillworkaslong

asthebatteryprovidespoweroritispoweredviathepoweradapter.Beforethe

batterybecomestoolowforoperatingthedeviceawarningwillappearonthe

screen.Ifyoucontinueworkingwithoutcharging,thedevicewillshutdown.Afully

dischargedbatteryrequiresupto8hoursofchargetime.

Tochargebattery

UseonlytheUSBcableandUSBpoweradapterdeliveredwithyourVinciLab.

ConnecttheUSBcabletotheminiUSBportofVinciLab.

ConnecttheotherendoftheUSBcabletoaUSBpoweradapter.

PlugtheUSBpoweradapterintoastandardpoweroutlet.

‐or‐

ConnecttheUSBcabletotheminiUSBportofVinciLab.

VinciLabUser’sGuide|9



ConnecttheothertwoendsoftheUSBcableintofreeUSBportsofyour

computer.Notice,thattheefficiencyofchargingviaaUSBport,islimitedbythe

maximalcurrentprovidedbyaUSBsocket(500mAforUSB2.0and800mAfor

USB3.0).UsingthedoubleUSBconnectionssignificantlyimprovescharging

speed.



Batterylifewilldependonthescreenbrightnessandonthesensorsandfeatures

usedbuttypicallyyoucanexpecttouseVinciLabatleast4hourswithoutrecharging

it.Tosavepowerdimthebrightnessofthescreenorturnoffthescreenwhenyou

donotneedit.Seealso‘III.VinciLabApplications,3.Settings’.

Thelong‐timelifeofthebatteryismorethan300full(0to100%)chargingcycles.If

chargingcycleisnotfulle.g.30%to60%itwilllastmorechargingcycles.Exposure

totemperatureover35

Cwillsignificantlyreducebatterylife.Areplacement

batterycanbeorderedseparately.



Notes:

VinciLabcanbeusedwhilethebatteryisbeingchargedbythepoweradapter.

VinciLabtypicallyconsumesabout450mA.Ifyourunsomevideos,setthescreenbrightnessto

themaximumlevel,doalotofdatatransferringviaWi‐FiorBluetooth,connectmanysensors

andexternalUSBdevicesthenpowerconsumptionwillbemuchhigher.

WhentheUSBportdoesnotprovideenoughpower,VinciLabwillnotbechargedorcharging

willbesignificantlyslower.

OnmostcomputersUSBportsdonoprovideenoughpowerforsimultaneousoperatingof

VinciLabandchargingitsbattery.

WhenVinciLabdischargesfullyitwillnotallowyoutoturnitonuntilaminimumchargeof1%

isreached.

3.HomeScreen

TheHomeScreenisthestartingpointforusingyourVinciLabandprovidesshortcuts

toapplications.ThestatusbarisalwayspresentatthebottomoftheHomescreen
