The Bluetooth Emitter and the Acquisition System: the intelligence of DECRO®
The emitter houses the electronics for collecting three biosignals and features the latest generation of low-energy Bluetooth radio module for data transmission. We’ve made every effort to miniaturize these electronics and reduce the weight borne by the animal, without compromising signal quality or device autonomy.
The acquisition system contains our proprietary software and receives the biosignals send by the emitter thanks to the Bluetooth which has been designed to comply with industrial ElecroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements. It is a complete plug-and-play experience, without harassing setup or license management on every user’s computer.
High performance Bluetooth low-energy
Robust radio module and advanced protocol to prevent data loss with data buffering capability of several seconds and automatic acquisition resume in case of disconnection
No cross-talk of signals
No cross-talk of signals during multiple animal recording, allowing several devices in the same cage and room
Transmission range up to 10m
The emitter has a transmission range up to 10m in open field. The acquisition unit needs to be in the same room
“The Bluetooth communication protocol embedded in our solution has been extensively tested in multiple situations and has demonstrated its reliability.“
The emitter embeds a high-resolution ECG (24 bits, 500Hz), a high-resolution respiratory inductive plethysmography (32 bits, 200Hz), and a 3D accelerometer (16 bits).
Optimized weight (15g) and ergonomics
The emitters, with its battery, only weighs 15g and the ergonomics is optimized to allow the animals to express their normal behaviour.
USB rechargeable batteries
The emitter is provided with two USB rechargeable and replaceable batteries. They are reusable without repackaging.
