Accelerometer & Gyroscope
Add-on Module
About
The Accelerometer & Gyroscope add-on module allows 24/7 collection of accelerometer & gyroscope data from compatible Garmin devices.
Accelerometer
- Measures acceleration along 3 orthogonal axes (x, y and z).
- The output is milli-g units.
- Resolution is fixed at 25Hz (i.e. 25 measurements per second). Garmin wearables do not support adjusting this resolution.
- Recording is 24/7. It is not possible to schedule or start/stop recording.
- Each user will produce 2.16 Mio. measurements per day.
- Accelerometer data generates approx. 562.5KB/hour (13.18MB/day).
- Data export is only available as csv or json file format. XLS is not support as MS Excel cannot open such large amounts of data. You need a code/text editor.
- Fluctuations in recording frequency may occur and are normal due to error tolerances of the hardware.
Gyroscope
- Measures angular velocity along 3 orthogonal axes x, y and z.
- The output is degrees/second.
- Resolution is fixed at 32Hz (i.e. 32 measurements per second). Garmin wearables do not support adjusting this resolution.
- Recording is 24/7. It is not possible to schedule or start/stop recording.
- Each user will produce 2.76 Mio. measurements per day.
- Accelerometer data generates approx. 720KB/hour (16.87MB/day).
- Data export is only available as csv or json file format. XLS is not support as MS Excel cannot open such large amounts of data. You need a code/text editor.
- Fluctuations in recording frequency may occur and are normal due to error tolerances of the hardware.
