Getting Started

A single push on the button switches the device on. Push and hold the button for three seconds to switch it off again.

When the device is switched on and no script is running, the blue status LED will blink, indicating the device is idle.

The Sensit Wearable requires to be mounted on its mounting bracket before use. Dismounting the Sensit Wearable requires a combination of pushing down the small lever on the mounting bracket and rotating it back 45 degrees counter clock-wise while gently pulling.

For establishing a connection between a PC and the Sensit Wearable either the USB-C cable can be used or a Bluetooth 5.0 connection can be established.

When connecting via a USB cable Make sure the Sensit Wearable is switched on. If the appropriate drivers are installed, the PC will recognize the Sensit Wearable automatically when connecting via its USB-C port. The Sensit Wearable will appear in PSTrace as “Sensit Wearable”. Windows will also automatically assign a COM port which can be used in 3rd party applications like Tera Term for direct communication. Settings for making a serial connection are given in the table below. More information about communicating with the device using a serial connection can be found in the Communication Protocol section.

When the Sensit Wearable is powered on, it will advertise itself over Bluetooth as PS-#### where the last four characters correspond to its Bluetooth MAC address. Before adding the Sensit Wearable as a Bluetooth Device in Windows, make sure to set “Bluetooth devices discovery” to “Advanced”. PSTrace detects the Sensit Wearable without first adding the device in Windows and changing the “Bluetooth devices discovery” setting. The pin code for connecting to the device can be found on the inside of the lid of the Development Kit box and is the same as the last 6 digits of the serial number of the device. A Bluetooth connection is always leading, so if a Bluetooth connection is present it will not be possible to connect via its USB-C port.

Developing with the Sensit Wearable is best started by using PSTrace. This program gives a visual interface for interacting with your device over USB and Bluetooth. PSTrace also gives the MethodSCRIPT it creates to run the measurements you set in the visual interface. This MethodSCRIPT can be edited in the sandbox to start playing with making your own measurement sequences and standalone operations. A guide on how to get starting developing MethodSCRIPT for your device can be found here. Some other examples on how to implement the script can be found on our GitHub. For more information about MethodSCRIPT please consult the manual. If you want to integrate the device in other languages please have a look at the MethodSCRIPT section or at our SDKs.
