Everyone will need to wear the sensors in the same places to ensure consistency across the data.
The Respeck sensor should be placed on the left lower ribcage, with the blue half against the skin. Ensure the Respeck is first put into the small plastic bag provided. You should be able to read the Respeck label when placing it on your chest – this ensures the sensor is held the right way up, as shown in the figure below.
Secure the sensor to the chest using the MeFix tape provided. If you run out of tape, you should let us know, and we will provide you with more.
The Thingy sensor should be placed in the front right pocket of your trousers, with the circle placed in the upper right corner and the USB port facing downwards.
Finally, you can record data in the Record Data activity. Choose the appropriate Sensor type and Activity and please use the university student number as the subject ID. You can enter any additional notes you have about the upcoming recording.
You will be able to verify that your sensors are running as expected by watching the Live Data fields at the bottom of the screen.
Hit Start Recording when you are all set up. When you are done with a recording, hit Stop Recording. If something goes wrong during the recording, you can cancel it by pressing the Cancel Recording button.
