Analysis Software
Biometrics NEW v7.5 Analysis Software for
- DataLOG W4X8 Wireless
- DataLOG P3X8 (USB or Serial)
- DataLINK DLK900 (USB)
- DataLINK DLK800 (Serial)
The Biometrics Analysis Software, compatible with both Windows XP and Windows VISTA, is now an even more comprehensive tool for EMG, Goniometer and associated sensor analysis.
Major Key Features:
Create and save Workspaces. A Workspace is the complete appearance of the application along with the settings used within the program. This includes:
- The names of all open data files
- The position and size of all windows
- The position, size and appearance of all application toolbars and tool windows
- Application preferences and options
- All markers and filters
- All zoom and scroll settings
Multiple workspaces may be saved. In addition, when the application is closed, the current complete workspace is automatically saved in a file called “Workspace when last closed”.
The workspace with the associated data files may be saved as a ZIP file which can be extracted using many third party applications. This facilitates electronic mailing of the data analysis results.
The new Expanded Results Table showing all results of all channels simultaneously. Multiple traces/graphs/windows from a single file or from multiple files may be compared. The spreadsheet style table displays the following data for each trace:

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Open an unlimited number of data files with the option to track the time axis across all files allowing display and analysis for a large number of channels.
- Waveform display in multiple windows and formats with full zoom, scroll, and area marking facilities, option to split, tile and cascade windows.
- Waveforms within the same window may be viewed overlaid or as separate traces. Easily toggle between the two views with a simple keystroke.
- Engineering units with custom scaling ability on all traces independently.
- Each recorded file is data and time stamped
- Full trace management (change line width, colour, background colour, etc.)
- Ability to set an unlimited number of vertical cursors (time markers) to a single
trace, all traces in a window, and across multiple windows giving
total flexibility. All values are shown simultaneously in the
expanded results table.
- All vertical cursors may be altered via expanded results table by typing in time values to 0.001S giving maximum control.
- All horizontal cursors may be altered via expanded results table by typing in Y value to 0.01 giving maximum control.
- Filters
- Up to six filters may be applied to each trace
- Copy filters set to a channel to all other channels in 1 simple operation
- A memory store & recall (2 memory settings) for the filters set to a channel to
easily be applied to any other channel. These memory settings are kept
stored indefinitely until changed by the user

- Filters include:
- Rectify
- Average
- RMS
- Velocity
- Offset
- Scale
- Integrate
- EMG Work Done (new in v7)
- LPF 1stOrder (new in v7)
- Acceleration (new in v7
- Median Frequency
- Mean Frequency
- Versatile Data Export for import into other applications for further analysis
- ASCII export of raw data
- ASCII export traces after filters have been applied in engineering units
- Wave file format
- Expanded ability to include text notes with data files
- Power Spectrum Graph
- X-Y graphs
- FFT high pass filters: remove DC, remove very low frequencies
- FFT window functions:
- Comprehensive Help menu that may be used as a tutorial for both the hardware and software operations.
As soon as a file is opened it is displayed as a raw EMG
file and may then be subject to any or all of the features listed above.
The data may be left as a whole or truncated into smaller files of
specific data for further analysis. Of course not only EMG data
may be displayed at any one time. The Y axis may be labelled with
any units governed by what sensors where connected at the time of
recording, e.g. Kg or lbs for force or degrees for limb movement.
These units are then saved with the file and automatically compute every
time the file is reopened.
The digital inputs are displayed on a separate graph to the analog inputs. Using this facility during gait analysis, toe and heel contact and off may be obtained using the contact switch assembly type no. FS4.
The Display to the left shows a Workspace containing unfiltered EMG data (abdominal muscles) with Goniometer data (hip flexion/extension) and EMG Power Spectrum.
