Application information

Product			BioWave sensor
Examples			The BioWave combines perfectly with the BioBeat, BioEmo and BioFlex. Become zen and still perform. Add intensity to your musical performance by tweaking your sound through frowns, winks and other histrionics. For whole-body expression go bodysuit, capture all your joints' movements and express with all your extremities. Combine with BendMicro, BendMini and BendShort sensors from finger to toe. Add a GForce3D-3 on your feet and hands to capture kicks and punches. A Hot will keep you in check of your body temp. Top it all off with a TouchGlove on both hands to always be able to touch-control your performance, even when you're doing a handstand.
Manuals			Using the sensor with the Wi-microSystem not only ensures electrically safe operation (see disclaimer below) but also enables you to use the sensor without being tethered to your computer or MIDI device. User guide The sensor includes a notch filter to reduce power grid noise (50 or 60 Hz). Note that the sensor is shipped with this power grid notch filter set to 50 Hz. It can be changed if necessary to 60 Hz by cutting the blue jumper wire on the side of the board inside the neoprene band.
Software			The following standalone software can be modified with the Max development environment: Max v5: Biosensor patches v1.3 Max v4: BioWave patch v1.1 (runtime version of this patch, using Bluetooth serial port), and v1.0 (using BlueMIDI)
Disclaimer			The BioWave sensor is to be used only with extreme caution. It is intended for research purposes only and not intended for use in any clinical medical practice whatsoever. The BioWave sensor must only be plugged into a battery powered, wireless I-CubeX digitizer (eg. the Wi-microDig or Wi-miniDig) manufactured by Infusion Systems and not any other digitizer. The BioWave sensor must only be connected as shown in the diagram on the wireless digitizer. The wireless digitizer used with the BioWave sensor must only be powered by a common 9V battery as used in consumer goods or an I-CubeX BatteryPack. Only I-CubeX sensors may be connected to the wireless digitizer that is used for interfacing the BioWave. When using the BioWave sensor, I-CubeX products may not be connected in any way to the electrical power grid or any other high voltage source.
