Heart Beat Timestamp (1 to 15)
The heart beat timestamp is a 16 bit unsigned integer, representing the time at which the heart beat occurred, in
milliseconds. (Valid range 0 – 65535ms)
The time used to populate the timestamp rolls over after 65535ms. This should be taken into consideration when
calculating the heart beat interval (RR time).
The R to R data consists of a series of R-detection timestamps with 1 millisecond resolution. The internal clock
rolls over at 65535 ms.
Figure 9 : PQRS Waveform showing the R-R Interval.
The R to R interval is the time between subsequent R peaks in an ECG waveform.
15 values are sent, such that at the fastest valid heart rate (240bpm) 3 consecutive packets can be dropped
without loss of information. Timestamp #1 is the most recent heart beat and timestamp #15 is the oldest.
Distance
The distance is a 16 bit unsigned integer, representing the cumulative distance travelled since the device was
powered on, in 16ths of a meter (valid range 0 to 4095).
The distance travelled rolls over every 256m.
Instantaneous speed
The Instantaneous speed is a 16 bit unsigned integer, representing the Instantaneous speed of the wearer in
steps of 1/256m/s. The valid range is 0 – 4095 steps or 0 to 15.996m/s.
Strides
The strides count is an unsigned byte, representing the number of strides since the unit was powered on. The
valid range is 0 to 255 strides. The number of strides rolls over every 128 strides.
