1. Physilog®5 elements
2. Charging
The Physilog®5 is charged via the microUSB port. Plug the microUSB connector of the cable delivered
with the Physilog®5 to the Physilog®. Plug the USB connector to a Computer or charger (see voltage
specifications below). Physilog®5 must be turned off for charging. Do not charge Physilog® when
room temperature is outside of range 0°C to 45°C.
Be careful to plug the microUSB cable in the correct orientation into the
Physilog®, forcing the connector may permanently damage the Physilog® and
compromise its waterproofing.
Low battery level is indicated by orange (red and green LED on) blinking during measurement or if
the Physilog® blinks rapidly 3 times red when starting and doesn't start the recording (see LED
indications below). A battery level estimation is available in the GaitUp mobile application (free to
download from www.gaitup.com/support or from Google Play Store). When the Physilog® is
discharged, plug it for charging for at least 30 minutes before use.
It is recommended to avoid complete discharging of the Physilog®5, therefore check that the
Physilog® sensors are off when you store them. After a long period without using the Physilog®, plug
it for charging for at least 30 minutes before use. It may happen that the LED doesn't blink orange
at the beginning of charging after the battery was very low, to see the charging ongoing shortly push
the main button or disconnect and reconnect after some charging time.

Supply Voltage specifications
The Physilog® 5 should be charged using USB at 5V, 100mA. For charging, the ambient temperature
must lie between 0°C and 45°C.
3. Recording with Physilog®5
There are two ways to start and stop a measurement with the Physilog®5:
3.1.Standalone measurement
Press on the main button (for about 2 secs, until the green light turns off) to start the measurement.
During measurement, the Physilog® blinks green.
Hold the main button for 3 seconds, until the light turns orange to stop the measurement. When
the measurement has been concluded, the LED shortly blinks green three times.
3.2.Standalone synchronous measurement with multiple Physilog®5
Starting from firmware version 1.1.0 (June 2017):
The Physilog®5 sensors synchronize regularly during the measurement. A network includes one
single master sensor and several slave sensors (from one to as many as wished). Multiple sensor
networks can be created by selecting a different radio channel. The network configuration is done
via the Research ToolKit Desktop software (see RTK user manual for details) and is saved in the
conf.bin file on each Physilog®5.
To perform a measurement with synchronized Physilog®5, turn on all sensors of the network with
the main button (like for standalone measurement above) with short time intervals (all must be
started within one minute). No precise order of starting the sensors is necessary. Each sensor starts
recording data from start and once it is synchronized with the master sensor it will blink green
synchronously with the master sensor. To stop the measurement, push the main button of the
sensors until the LED turns orange, you can turn off the sensors in any order.

Copyright © 2018, All Rights Reserved - Gait Up SA. CH-1015 Switzerland 4
Firmware before v1.1.0:
The Physilog®5 sensors synchronize automatically at start when they are correctly configured. Slave
sensors contain a file named “slave.txt”, the Master sensor doesn't have such a file. You can create
and delete the “slave.txt” file as you need for your sensor network configuration. A sensor network
can contain as many slave sensors as wished, but there must be a single Master sensor.
Multiple sensor networks can be created by selecting a different radio channel, therefore create a
file called “radio.txt” and write a number between 2 and 80 inside the file (which sets the radio
channel) and copy-paste it on all Physilog® (also the Master) that are part of a network. Each
network should have a different radio channel in order to exclude cross-talk and one and only one
Master per network must be defined.
To perform a measurement with synchronized Physilog®5 follow the steps below:
1) Start the sensors with the main button (like for standalone measurement above). One of the
sensors (Master) will start to blink green, the others (Slaves) shine green and don't record until they
receive the synchronization signal from the Master sensor.
2) Once the sensors are synchronized, they blink green synchronously with the Master sensor and
record.
3) To stop the measurement, press the main button of the Slave sensors. They shine green until they
have received the final synchronization information from the Master. The Master must be turned
off as last, after all the Slave sensors have turned off the green LED.
To start a Slave sensor without receiving the signal from the Master, shortly press the main button
when it is shining green, the sensor will start the measurement without being synchronized to other
sensors. To stop slave sensors without waiting for Master synchronization, shortly press the main
button again when the LED is shining green after turning off the recording.
3.3.Start measurement from Android application
The GaitUp companion Android application allows to start Physilog®5. Two modes are available in
the application, for details refer to the user manual of the Android application. There is no need to
pair your Physilog® with the tablet prior to Bluetooth communication, just select the Physilog® from
the list in the app.
Troubleshoot: If a sensor is not detected by the tablet, shortly press the main button of the sensor
to enter detection mode. If the sensor can still not be connected, check that it has enough battery
and is not connected to another mobile device and if necessary ultimately do a reset of the sensor
as explained in section 5.7 Troubleshoot.

Briefly, the first mode one is called “Physilog Measure” and allows to start and stop data recording
of the Physilog® of up to two sensors at the same time. When pushing the “Start measurement”
button, the connected Physilog start recording and sending the data file to the tablet. When
launching two Physilog®5 at the same time using the tablet application they can be synchronized in
post-processing in Matlab.
The data is streamed to the tablet during the measurement. For high sampling frequencies (over
64Hz) and multiple Physilog®, the data transfer encounters some delay and remaining data is
transferred after the end of the measurement.
Data saved on the tablet only contains accelerometer and gyroscope data, even if the barometer
was turned on. The original data with all sensors is saved on the Physilog®.
During the measurement, the Physilog®5 blinks green where each blink is made of two short flashes.
To stop the measurement, click on the “Stop measurement” button in the application. In case the
sensors have not sent all data to the tablet during the measurement, they twinkle orange to show
that data transfer is still ongoing. The tablet application shows the percentage of the file already
transferred.
The second mode is called “Physilog Visualize”, it can be used to check if the sensor's data looks as
expected. Up to 4 sensors can be connected to the application at the same time for this mode. The
“Physilog Visualize” starts displaying data from connected sensors automatically (no start button).
It does not store the data, neither on the tablet nor on the Physilog®. During the measurement, the
Physilog®5 blink green where each blink is made of two short flashes. To stop data streaming either
disconnect the sensor or exit this part of the application.
Note: Bluetooth 4.0 or higher is required on the mobile device to be able to communicate with
Physilog®5.

4. Data Analysis
Physilog® always saves raw data on its internal memory, except when streaming the data live via
Bluetooth in the “Physilog Visualize” part of the app. Users have access to the raw data through
companion software called Research ToolKit (RTK). The RTK is available for computer (PC and Mac).
Functions to read raw data inside MATLAB® are also available. Please refer to the RTK user manual
for more details.
USB data transfer
Data saved on the SD card inside the Physilog® can be accessed using USB data transfer. Therefore,
plug the USB cable to the Physilog® and a computer. The Physilog®5 connects to the computer
almost instantaneously and files can be accessed. One file for each measurement is created and files
are stored in folders depending on creation date (DD_MM_YY for firmware v1.1.0 and YY_MM_DD
for firmware v1.2.2 upwards). The file name is composed of a file number (increasing from 1 to 999),
the body location (as defined in the configuration, f.ex. 'LF') and the sensor serial number. Copy-
paste the files to your computer for analysis. From here you can also rename folders and files or
delete the files from Physilog®'s memory.
Warning: Do not remove the conf.bin file which contains the configuration information, otherwise
the Physilog® will not record any data. If this happens, recreate a configuration using the Research
ToolKit or contact Gait Up support. For firmware v1.1.0 upwards, a default configuration based on
original configuration is created to compensate the removal of the conf.bin file.
5. Practical Considerations
5.1.Fixation
The Physilog®5 comes with a fixation clip as default attachment accessory. Additional clips and
elastic straps with Velcro patches to stick onto the Physilog® can be purchased from Gait Up's online
shop (shop.gaitup.com).
5.2.Handling / Maintenance
Physilog®5 should be handled carefully. In particular, it should not receive shocks, such as fall,
crushing, being hit etc. Do not press too hard on the on/off button, this can damage the button.
Warning: Do not use or charge the Physilog® if the sensor or its case is damaged.
Contact Gait Up about what further action is needed when the case is damaged. In
case the battery is damaged, immediately move the device away from flammable
materials and contact Gait Up's customer support.

To benefit from the maximal battery life, fully charge Physilog® sensors before doing
measurements (LED shines green when connected to computer or charger, you can also check
with the App).
Copy trial recordings to your computer: Physilog® is not the best place to keep important data.
Physilog®5 can be used outside. But do not use Physilog®5 to measure water-sport activities
without additional waterproofing.
Do not introduce pointy objects into the small hole besides the USB entry, this irreversibly
damages the waterproofing of the sensor.
Storage: Store in a cool (0°C –30°C) and dry place. The provided box is the perfect place for your
sensor.
Cleaning: Sensors can be cleaned gently using alcohol wipes. Before you clean the device make
sure it is turned off and disconnect all cables. Alcohol used in excess may damage the sensor’s
waterproofing. Make sure to use wipes and not put liquid alcohol directly on the sensor.
Sensors do not need yearly recalibration.
Do not throw Physilog® sensors in the normal trash, dispose of it properly considering local laws
and rules about electronic waste and batteries. Contact Gait Up's customer support for more
information about elimination of Physilog®.
Make sure to know which Physilog® file corresponds to which trial for your analysis –First digits
of file name are automatically incremented for each day of measurement (exceeding 999 resets
the increment back to 1). Note that date of file generation (recorded between one start and stop
of the Physilog®) is visible in the XLS or CSV file and the Matlab structure “header”. If you wish
to adapt internal date and time of the Physilog®, read section below.
Do not remove the “conf.bin” file from the Physilog, otherwise it will create empty files (no
sensor activated). If this happens, recreate a configuration in the Research ToolKit software or
contact Gait Up's customer support. For firmware v1.1.0 upwards, a default configuration based
on original configuration is created to compensate the removal of the conf.bin file.

5.3.How to update Date and Time of the Physilog®5
Via computer:
Create a new text file on the Desktop of your computer or directly on the Physilog® sensor (on
Windows: right click, new>text file, on Mac: open text editor and save file as textfile)
Leave it empty and rename it to TIME (complete name with file extension: TIME.txt)
Copy-paste the file to the Physilog® if you saved it on the Desktop
Disconnect the Physilog® from the computer to update the time and date to the hour when the
file has been created
Create a new text file each time you update the date, do not just rename or modify an existing
TIME.txt file (TIME.txt file previously created will update to the date it was created, so in the past).
The TIME.txt file will disappear from Physilog's memory when disconnecting the Physilog® from the
computer, therefore it is normal to not find it the next time you open the Physilog® on the computer.
Via Android application:
Connect the Physilog® to the Android companion application inside the “Physilog Measure” mode.
Start a short measurement from the app, you can stop the measurement as soon as the stop button
is available. Wait until the file transfer is finished and the app shows the green checkmark. Then
disconnect the sensors or completely quit the app.
5.4.How to update firmware of Physilog®5 with nRF Connect
The firmware is updated via Bluetooth. Therefore, install the nRF application on a mobile or tablet
(Android or iOS) and follow the steps below. It may be necessary to install a file manager application
in addition to the nRF app to be able to select the firmware file from a chosen location of file storage
on your device.

5.7.Troubleshoot
Soft reset
The soft reset is the manipulation which can be done if the Physilog® is not working properly. To do
a soft reset, hold the main button for 15 seconds. The LED shines green, turns off and finally blinks
red/orange and then stops. If the problem persists, fill out the contact form on the support page
serial number and describe the problem in as much detail as possible (number of red blinks, last
manipulation, firmware version etc.).
Hard reset
If the soft reset doesn’t allow to recover Physilog®, a hard reset is necessary. A hard reset is done
when the sensor’s battery goes completely out (few days to several weeks depending on firmware
version and charging state). To force a hard reset, introduce a thin item (like the end of a paperclip)
into the hole besides the USB entry and gently press until you feel a button pressed inside the sensor.
Warning: This manipulation destroys the waterproofing membrane and the sensor is therefore no

longer waterproof. The forced hard reset is the ultimate way to make Physilog® responsive again, it
should only be used in desperate cases. Before you apply it, let the sensor rest for 5 minutes
(especially if the sensor is unresponsive due to a problem during a firmware update) and be sure
that the sensor is not unresponsive due to completely discharged battery.

IC statement
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication. This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of the device. This device complies with Industry Canada radiation exposure limits set forth for
general population. This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et
d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage
radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Le présent
appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée
aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout
brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Le présent appareil est
conforme aux niveaux limites d’exigences d’exposition RF pour la population globale définies par Industrie Canada. L’appareil ne doit
pas être installé à proximité ou être utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou un autre émetteur.
