Overview of the BoMI GUI

The home screen is divided into Group Boxes, grouped by functionality.

"Yost devices" Widget

The "Yost devices" widget manages the Yost 3-Space Sensors, which provides BoMI with real-time orientation data. Plug the sensors or dongles via USB to the computer, then click "Discover Devices" to see a list of devices.

"Tare all devices" tares all wired and wireless sensors.

"Data charts" brings up a scope that visualizes orientation data from all connected sensors. Certain columns of the table showing the list of devices are editable:

  • Nicknames: set a custom name to the devices (e.g., knee, ankle) that will be shown in the scope and in the saved data.
  • Channel: wireless channel of the Yost sensor. Only editable when a wireless sensors is connected through USB.
  • Pan ID: wireless pan ID of the Yost sensor. Only editable when a wireless sensors is connected through USB.

(For a sensor and dongle to pair, they must be using the same Channel and Pan ID. It's easier to set this through the 3-Space Sensor Suite GUI).

"Commit all settings" commits the edited settings to device. (Nickname is only saved during a BoMI session and not persisted to device)

"Disconnect all" disconnects from all devices and dongles.

"Trigno devices" Widget

The "Trigno devices" widget manages the Trigno Research System from Delsys. Make sure the Trigno Control Utility (Trigno SDK Server) is running on the computer connected to the Base Station, and the IP address of the computer is entered correctly, then click "Connect" to connect to the Base Station.

Use the sensor widgets to assign a muscle to each sensor before collecting data.
