the ‘Save’ button. The file will be saved in the default
*.MTN format. If you do not wish to save the file, click the
‘Cancel’ button to return to the MotionWatch Manager.
Note that the MotionWatch Manager will
not
automatically
close when the MotionWatch is disconnected if data has
been downloaded and
not saved
. This serves as a
reminder to save the data; you may manually close the
window if the data is not required.
4.3 Shutdown after
Download
The MotionWare software defaults to shut-down the
MotionWatch into sleep mode to save the battery following
download. Data will NOT BE LOST but the watch will
cease recording. It is possible to disable this function such
that the MotionWatch will continue to record following
download and disconnection (see Appendix A3 - Shutdown
Options).
NOTE! The MotionWatch cannot record movement data
whilst connected to the PC. If a continuous recording is
desired then the watch should be removed from the USB
cable and returned to the subject as promptly as possible.
4.4 Join Files
It is possible to join (Concatenate) two MotionWatch
recordings to create a single recording. The recordings
must contain the same user details/setup and be
concurrent.
1. Load the first data file for sleep analysis by
selecting from the list of recent recordings or by
browsing for Motion file.
2.
From the ‘file’ menu select ‘Join…’
3. In the file dialogue, browse and/or select the
second motion file that is to be joined to the first.
4. A save dialogue will open to allow the file name
and location for the joined file to be specified.
5. Click save to save the new file
– both original files
will be kept unless the joined file is given the same
name (an overwrite warning will be given in this
case).
6. The new joined file may now be loaded from the
recent recordings list.
7. Any gap between the two recordings will show as
‘missing data’ and will be marked in grey.
