Settings overview
The Settings tab is where you manage all of your app and device settings.
You can manage account details such as login and organisation details, as well as test and device settings as below.
Default Thresholds (Strength) | Customise the threshold used for strength tests. This is defaulted to 30N, however, can be adjusted between 10N and 100N. |
Unit of Measurement (Strength) | Customise what unit to show results in - Newtons (N), Kilograms (kg), or Pounds (lb). |
Multi-Movement Test Sequence | Customise sequence of multi-movement tests. You can either test in order of movement or limb selection. |
Sampling Frequency | Customise the rate of data transmission. The default sampling frequency for strength testing is 225 Hz, but is adjustable from 50 Hz to 225 Hz. The maximum sampling frequency is recommended for optimal accuracy and data capture. Sampling frequency for ROM testing cannot be customised. |
ROM Settings | Customise ROM behaviour, allowing you to toggle whether range of motion movements are automatically detected or manually controlled. |
