ShimmerConnect

ShimmerConnect allows users to display and save data received from Shimmer devices streaming over Bluetooth. The application is designed for greater usability and functionality, with a number of data capture parameters being configurable.

Users can select the sampling rate, which sensors are to be used, enable/disable power monitoring, and change parameters such as the accelerometer’s sensitivity. Once captured, the data can then be saved to a CSV file for further interpretation and analysis.

This application runs using the .NET framework in Windows (tested with XP, Vista and Windows 7)  and can be run in Linux using mono (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page). Two versions of the application are available which are tailored to the different operating systems. The only difference between the two applications is the positioning and sizing of some of the windows and controls.
