FitSense BodyLAN
From Capsil Wiki
The Pacer™ [1] is an accurate activity-monitoring device that can determine a user’s step count, distance traveled and caloric burn. The Pacer sensor determines this through a patented accelerometer and methodology of recognizing each foot strike and foot contact time on the ground of the user. It’s through this method that measurements of true calories burned are determined.
The Pacer™ is easy to use and transfers its time stamped data automatically. It clips on to a user’s shoe using an attached elastic Rungee™ cord (an ankle mount version is available as well). A user then need only enter their weight into their BodyLAN™ Feedback Device (e.g. FS-1 Watch) and they are ready to go. The Pacer™ is over 90% accurate out of the box, but can be adjusted through its calibration mode if a more precise distance measurement is required. The Pacer™ transmits information to the BodyLAN™ system on a user defined time interval. In operational mode, the Pacer™ continuously timestamps every step with distance, step count, caloric burn, speed, cadence and battery power.
