1 Introduction
1.1 Brief Description
The Ultium Analog Output Module is an accessory to the Ultium EMG System which allows for
users to customize their data collection setup. Specifically, a user could use the Analog Output
Module to transmit data, collected from the Ultium system, to a 3rd party software/program in real-
time.
1.2 Contradictions
Use of the Ultium system is contra-indicated in individuals who have implanted pacemakers.

2.1 Graphic Symbols and Meaning
The following international icons and symbols may be found on the Ultium Analog Output Module
enclosures and in this user manual. Their meaning is described below.
Read material in the User Manual wherever this symbol appears.
2.2 Glossary of Terms
Ultium Sensor -- A small individual radio transmitter typically worn on the body used to measure
and transmit bio-potential signals (such as EMG) or motion related signals (such as acceleration).
The Ultium System can accommodate up to 16 body worn Ultium Sensors in one network. Two
Ultium Systems may be used in parallel, on separate RF networks, to accommodate up to 32 body
worn sensors.
Multi-Channel Sensor –Certain Ultium Sensor Types provide more than one signal. An example is
a 3-D Accelerometer that provides acceleration data for the x, y and z directions.
