FreeLynx Hardware System Properties

These settings are used to control how the FreeLynx hardware sub system is setup and how it processes AD data before passing the data to the acquisition entities.  The hardware system properties are shown via the View menu in __prod_name.

1. SD Card Recording Status When this indicator is gray, FreeLynx is not recording data to the micro SD Card. The indicator will turn purple when FreeLynx is recording data to the micro SD Card. SD Card Recording must be enabled and Cheetah Acquisition turned on. If SD Card Recording is enabled and Cheetah Acquisition is on but the status indicates FreeLynx is not recording, then check that the device is powered on and connected to the DAS, and that the micro SD Card has space to record.
2. SD Card Recording Enabled When this feature is enabled, FreeLynx will record data to the micro SD Card anytime Cheetah Acquisition is turned on.
3. Data Transmission Enabled When this feature is enabled FreeLynx will transmit data to Cheetah for processing, display, and recording. If this feature is disabled, no data will be received by the DAS to process, display, or record. Disabling FreeLynx Data Transmission may be used to preserve the FreeLynx battery during acquisition.
4. Storage Remaining The amount of storage on the FreeLynx micro SD Card available for recording data.
5. System Name This is the unique name that is used to identify this system in __prod_name.  It is the name user defines when creating the hardware sub system.
6. Product Name The release name of the FreeLynx hardware.
7. Product Version The release version of the FreeLynx hardware.
8. Firmware Version The firmware version currently installed on the FreeLynx hardware.
9. IP Address The IP address of the FreeLynx hardware.
10. MAC Address Media Access Control Address unique identifier for the FreeLynx hardware.
11. SSID Service Set Identifier assigned to the FreeLynx hardware for network identification.
12. Tracking LED Toggle Enables and disables the tracking LED on the FreeLynx hardware. When the tracking LED is on, the power LED is off.
13. Hide/Show Details Toggle Clicking on the button when it says "Hide Details" will change the window to save screen space and display only the most important monitoring information and controls. Clicking on this button when it says "Show Details" will expand the window to show a more detailed view of the hardware system properties.
14. Base IMU Enable Allows disabling or enabling of data processing for Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) installed on the FreeLynx Base hardware. If the FreeLynx reports that an IMU is not present, it will always be disabled.
15. AFE IMU Enable Allows disabling or enabling of data processing for Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) installed on the FreeLynx Analog Front End (AFE) hardware. If the FreeLynx reports that an IMU is not present, it will always be disabled.
16. Ultrasonic Mic Enable Allows disabling or enabling of Ultrasonic Microphone installed on the FreeLynx hardware. If the FreeLynx reports that a microphone is not present, it will always be disabled.
17. Battery Type This value should be set to match the battery type being used to power the FreeLynx hardware. Typically, one of the classifications will be marked on the battery. Contact Neuralynx Support if you are unable to find the classification marking.
18. Battery Remaining The amount of battery charge remaining as a percentage.
19. Core Temperature The internal core temperature of the FreeLynx hardware.
20. Sample Frequency The current sample frequency for this system. This value is based on the hardware. All AD channels on this system will be sampled at this frequency.  However, the sampling rate of individual acquisition entities can be changed. See the help section for the type of acquisition entity whose sampling rate you wish to change for more information.
21. Total Channel Count The total number of distinct physical signals that the connected FreeLynx hardware can acquire.
22. Min Input Range This is the smallest voltage that this system is capable of recording, and is the minimum value that can be used for the input range of an AE. This value is based on the hardware being used and cannot be changed.
23. Max Input Range This is the largest voltage that this system is capable of recording, and is the maximum value that can be used for the input range of an AE. This value is based on the hardware being used and cannot be changed.
