SENSORPAL USER GUIDE

INSTALLATION

SensorPal is a light weight, easy to use desktop tool to rapidly

configure the AD5940 carry out measurements.

The AD5940_Firmware&Documentation directory contains a

GUI folder. SensorPal installer is located in this folder. To install

SensorPal, take the following steps:

1. Run the SensorPal Installer_vXXXX.exe installer and

follow on-screen instructions to install the program.

2. An Analog Devices folder is automatically created in the C

drive on your PC. Navigate to C:\Analog Devices\SensorPal\

Firmware Files (the default install path for the SensorPal

GUI).

3. Connect the ADICUP3029 and AD5940 to the PC and

navigate to C:\Analog Devices\SensorPal\Firmware Files

(the default install path for GUI).

4. Drag and drop the SensorPal-Firmware.hex file onto the

DAPLINK (D:) drive. This installs the required firmware

onto the ADICUP3029 so it will work with the GUI.

5. Power cycle the ADICUP3029 board by pressing the URST

button on the EVAL-AD5940ARDZ board.

6. After SensorPal is installed on the PC, open the SensorPal

GUI. A window similar to Figure 14 is displayed. Upon the

MEASUREMENT VALIDATION AND TESTING

Body Impedance

The 4-wire bioimpedance analysis (BIA) approach uses a high

precision excitation voltage source to excite the sensor with a

known high frequency voltage, VAC . The response current (I) is

measured and the impedance (Z) is calculated by the following

equation: Z = VAC /I.

The AD5940 impedance test board is used to validate the

accuracy of the AD5940 measurements. The impedance test

board features an array of standard valued resistors and capacitors,

which are separated into banks labeled S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5.

Any of the resistor values can be used for body impedance tests.

The S1 bank on the board is highlighted in Figure 17 for

reference.

Figure 17. AD5940 Impedance Test Board with S1_2 Activated

A schematic of the S1 bank is shown in Figure 18, with units in

ohms (Ω). R1 in the schematic corresponds to Switch 1 on the

S1 bank (S1_1). The full schematic of the impedance test board

can be found here. The S2, S3, S4, and S5 banks on the board

can additionally be used to simulate contact impedance on the

electrodes.

Figure 18. AD5940 Impedance Test Board S1 Bank Schematic

Select the desired resistor value to test by pushing the switch

downwards toward the row of numbers (1 to 12) on the S1 (or

S2, S3, S4, or S5) bank. Use a paperclip (or another thin, pointed

object) to change the switches by moving the switches back and

forth. Multiple resistors can be selected simultaneously to put the

resistors in series and increase the total equivalent resistance.

To perform a body impedance validation test using

the AD5940 evaluation board, take the following steps:

1. Plug the AD5940ARDZ into the ADICUP3029 via the

Arduino connectors.

2. Plug the ADICUP3029 into the PC via the microUSB port

on the board.

3. Plug the AD5940-BioElectric evaluation daughter card into

the AD5940ARDZ board as in Figure 19.

4. Plug the AD5940 impedance test board into the microUSB

port on the AD5940-BioElectric evaluation daughter card

as in Figure 19.

Figure 19. Body Impedance Hardware Setup

5. Select the desired resistor value on the Z Test Board using

the S1 bank switches. The resistor selected for this test was

the S1_2 resistor, which has a value of 200Ω.

6. Ensure the ADICUP3029 is connected to the PC via the

micro-USB port.

7. Open the SensorPal GUI and ensure the correct COM port

is selected.

8. Under the Bio-Electric Techniques section in the tool belt,

drag the Body Impedance measurement into the work

area. Delete any other existing measurements in the work

area by hovering over the measurement and pressing the

trash bin icon in the bottom right corner.

12. When the software has finished collecting data, the resulting

graph looks similar to the one in Figure 22 (sampled at one

frequency). As in the Figure 22, the impedance value,

whether sampled at one frequency or over a range of

frequency, should be nearly equal to the total equivalent

resistive value selected on the Z test board (in this case 200 Ω).

Figure 22. BIA Validation Test Result—200 Ω on Impedance Test Board

If using electrodes to measure body impedance on an equivalent

sensor, or body simulator, the leads on the custom ECG cable

provided are as in Figure 23. Connect the F+ and S+ electrodes

to positive side and connect F− and S− to the negative side.

Figure 23. Custom Cables

Electrodermal Activity

Electrodermal activity (EDA) refers to the continuous changes

in the electrical conductivity of the skin that occur as a result of

sweat secretion by the body. For example, during high stress,

the sweat glands in the body are activated, causing the surface

of the skin to become wet and thus more conductive. Such a

change reduces the skin’s overall impedance.

The AD5940 impedance test board is used to validate the

accuracy of the EDA measurements and is shown in Figure 24.

The impedance test board features an array of standard valued

resistors and capacitors, which are separated into banks labeled

S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5. A full schematic of the impedance test

board can be found in the schematics folder. High-value

resistors in the range of 10 kΩ to 10 MΩ can be used for EDA

tests. These resistance values are located from S2 switch 5 (R25)

to S2 switch 10 (R30) on the S2 bank and from S3 switch 6

(R36) to S3 switch 10 (R40).

Figure 24. AD5940 Impedance Test Board with S2 and S3 Highlighted

Select the desired resistor value to test by pushing the switch

downwards toward the row of numbers (1 to 12) on the desired

bank. The switches can be easily changed using a paperclip (or

other thin, pointed object) to move the switches back and forth.

Multiple resistors can be selected simultaneously to put the

resistors in series and increase the total equivalent resistance.
