2Scope of application
Move II is a scientific research instr ment to capt re the physical
activity of a person and other secondary parameters. Move II is
designed and tailored for the se in research applications.
The physical activity sensor Move II is not a medical device!
The meas rement of physical activity of person is based on the
acq isition of acceleration in three dimensions, atmospheric air
press re. In addition the ambient temperat re is acq ired.
The config ration of the sensor is done from PC by means of the
software incl ded in this package.
Move II allows the meas rement and in conj nction with movisens
DataAnalyzer the analysis of the following parameters:
Acceleration in three dimensions
Atmospheric Air Press re
Temperat re
Movement Acceleration
Step Co nt
Activity Classes
Body Position
Energy Expendit re
Tipp:
On demand, other parameters can be
calc lated from raw data by movisens.

7Handling
This chapter describes how to prepare a meas rement and how to
attach the sensor to a test person. F rthermore yo get information
to save, delete and analyze data from the sensor.
7.1 Charging the Sensor
Step 1: Connect the Sensor to a USB port (USB port of yo r
comp ter or another port that conforms to USB standard like USB
h b or USB charger).
After connecting the sensor to a USB port, the charging process
starts immediately. D ring charging, the stat s LED is blinking
bl e. If the sensor is f lly charged, the LED is blinking green.
7.2 Preparing a meas rement
Before cond cting a meas rement please make s re yo installed
the software as described in chapter 6.1.
Step 1: Start the movisens SensorManager by selecting Windows
Startmen  movisens SensorManager  SensorManager
SensorManager is now searching for available sensors.
Step 2: Connect the Move II sensor with yo r PC sing.
The software will a tomatically detect the device and open the
following window:

14
This application shows information abo t sensor hardware, sensor
state and sensor config ration.
Before yo start a meas rement please check the charging stat s of
the battery. The maxim m meas rement d ration can only be
reached when the battery is f lly charged.
7.3 Starting a meas rement
To start a meas rement do the following steps:
Step 1: In the sensor manager software click on the „Start
Recording“ b tton in the lower left of the window.
Yo can see the following window:

Step 2: Please s pply the following information into the text fields:
Meas rement d ration: The maxim m meas rement
d ration depends on the man fact rer config ration of yo r
sensor.
Start time: Yo can start the meas rement immediately or
delayed at a specific time. If yo want to start yo r
meas rement delayed please specify date and time. The
given time sho ld not be more than 2 days from now.
Step : Start the meas rement by clicking the „Start“ b tton.
Yo will see the following window:
Step 4: Please follow the instr ctions and remove the sensor from
the cradle.
The stat s LED will flash red once per second as soon as the
meas rement has started and data will be recorded. If a delayed
start was config red the LED flashes red every two seconds ntil
the meas rement starts.

16
At the end of the meas rement the LED stops flashing.
!
!!
!If yo reconnect the sensor after starting a meas rement
again with a PC, the meas rement will be stopped
premat rely.
!
!!
!If yo connect the sensor to an USB charger, the
meas rement won’t be stopped. That means yo can
extend the meas rement d ration by intermediately
charging the sensor d ring a meas rement.
7.4 Attaching the Sensor to the test
person
Depending on yo r sensor variant attach the sensor to one of the
following locations:
Use the Clip to attach the sensor to the right side hip. The
clip can be sed with belts or directly on other garments.
The movisens logo sho ld face directly to the right.
Use the wrist band to attach the sensor to the non-dominant
hand of the test person. At this position only simple
parameters like Movement Acceleration can be meas red.
