FAQ

Q: What is the "muscle electrical intensity" obtained from the IWS940 sensor?

A: It is a value corresponding to muscle strength, derived from unique methods of electromyographic waveform signal analysis. When the force is weak, the muscle electrical intensity will be a small value, and as the force increases, it will show a larger value. By using muscle electrical intensity, there is no need to develop programs for noise removal or signal analysis.

Q: Can the raw waveform of electromyography be obtained through the IWS940?

A: Yes, it is possible. Please create a program for serial communication by referring to the datasheet of the IWS940.
