z DEMO QUICK START

1. 1. for the first time use, plugin the dongle to your pc and wait until the os inform you the hardware is ready for use.

1. 2. run the demo program and click the "init" button, if the dongle is detected, the msg "arrival of dongle" will be shown, otherwise the api will poll the usb port every second.

1. 3. once "arrival of dongle" is shown, you could click the "open 5.3k ch" button to open the 5.3khz channel, you should put on your chest belt now.

1. 4. the usb controller will start sending the hrm data every second, each packet will contain: - smoothed heart rate

- accumulated heart beat count (rollover to 0 when reaching 256)

- r2r sample count (0-4) in the packet

- individual r2r time data (1/256s resolution)

it may take a while for the mcu to detect and process the heart rate signals before any valid data could be available, in that case, 0 heart rate will be sent out, this will also be the case if no signal is detected at all.

The response time could be adjusted by selecting a different “5.3k ch search level”, with Level1 the highest stability (slowest response time). There are 5 possible selections. You could change the search level any time after init.

1. 5. click the "close 5.3k ch" button to close the channel

1. 6. any time after init, if the dongle is removed, the msg "removal of dongle" will be shown, the api will then start the polling of usb port again.

1. 7. click the "close device" any time will stop the communication with the dongle.

1. 8. when pc wakeup from suspend mode, it is suggested to re-init the dongle

(close device->init).
