Section 1: Introduction
Section 1: IntroductionSection 1: Introduction
Section 1: Introduction
Brief Description
The M oS nc is a versatile s nchronization s stem that can be used with various Noraxon
s stems as well as video. This special s nc device is for use with a multi-device Noraxon setup
and the Noraxon MR3 software to s nchronize all signals received b the software.
The M oS nc utilizes both wireless and cable connections to send a s nc signal to the connected
devices. The M oS nc has a wireless s nc transmitter (262A) option that can be purchased
separatel . This option will enable s wireless s nc signal to be sent to a wireless s nc receiver
connected to the Noraxon device being used. Without the wireless s nc transmitter the M oS nc
sends a s nc pulse solel via s nc cables.
All connections to the M oS nc are stereo connections while the other end of the s nc cable will
var depending between s stems. The M oS nc receives its signal from one of two sources: PC
or external. When connected to the PC via USB, the M os nc can use this connection to
generate a s nc source, or it can receive a s nc pulse from an external device that generates the
s nc signal.
Intended se
The M oS nc is intended to send out a s nc pulse to all connected s stems. This s nc pulse can
then be used to s nchronize the various signals retrieved from multiple s stems. In combination
with the MR3 software, the s nchronization of these signals is done automaticall and signals are
displa ed in s nchronization. The onl exception to this is some video cameras which have to be
manuall s nchronized and this option is onl available with the M oVideo module.
Intended Users
Researchers or individuals trained in ph sical medicine, ph sical therap or ergonomics
Subject Populations – Medical
Individuals with cerebral pals , ph sical injuries, post-surgical or post stroke conditions
Subject Populations – Non medical
Athletes, workers at their worksite, subjects in new product trials
Common Applications
S nchronizing different signals received from a multi-device setup
Contraindications
None

accompanied the equipment (MR3) and follow the appropriate instructions given next.
MR3 Installation
1. Insert the MR3 USB card into the PC
2. A menu will automaticall pop up
3. Click on “Install MR3” and follow the Wizard’s instructions
Companion Software Configuration
Before the M oS nc s stem can be used, the companion software must be configured to
recognize the different components that make up the s stem. Refer to the following configuration
instructions for the MR3 software.
MR3 Configuration
Step 1

Step 3
Double-Click on the Noraxon
Master S nc Icon to insert the
M oS nc into the hardware setup.
Note:
The M oS nc Icon will not be displa ed if
the device is not attached to the USB port of
the computer. If absent go back to step 2.
Step 4
There is no further configuration for
the M oS nc, but ever s stem
utilizing the s nc pulse will need to
be configured to accept a S nc In
pulse. This process will var
depending on the s stem, but is
generall done during the Hardware
Setup under configure device.
Step 5
For each s stem utilizing the s nc
signal, if the user would like to
visuall see the s nc signal for
verification or to s nchronize with
certain cameras, the S nc channel
will have to be selected in the
Measurement Setup.

Normal Appearance of Signals
The M oS nc’s S nc Source indicator provides a means of communicating its operational state.
In the PC state the PC light will illuminate to indicate the s nc pulse is generated b the PC. In
the EXT state the EXT light will illuminate to indicate the s nc pulse is generated b an external
source plugged into the external S nc In port.
If the Not Read indicator is red, the M oS nc is not setup properl .
Note: When first plugged in, the Not Read light will illuminate until the setup process is
complete.
Attaching the MyoSync to a System
Normall s stems are connected to the M oS nc using one of the attachment ports (Wireless,
EXT S nc In, or S nc Out) as described previousl in section 6. If the indicators are illuminating
properl but the software is giving an error when running a measurement, check to make sure the
connectors are secure in their ports and no individual wires or cables are disconnected.
Calibration
Calibration of the M oS nc itself is not required.
