Trigno Link Overview

Overview

This guide walks you through setting up and using the Trigno Link and its features in the Trigno Discover software. Trigno Link is a compact, portable, USB-powered device that connects third-party Compatible Devices with Delsys Trigno Avanti-Style Sensors, creating a synchronized, real-time data stream in Trigno Discover. It supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE v4.2) and ANT+, enabling seamless integration of diverse physiological signals.

Trigno Link can connect with up to six third-party compatible devices simultaneously. For a complete list of compatible devices, refer to the compatibility table below.

Designed for biomechanics, sports science, clinical research, and exercise physiology, Trigno Link works with Trigno Discover software, allowing users to combine other physiological data with EMG. For a visual walkthrough, please refer to the Trigno Link Getting Started video.

Information

• This article refers to Trigno Discover version 2.0.1. Please note that the user interface may vary depending on the version you have installed. You can find your current version of Trigno Discover in the top left corner of the application window.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Software & Hardware Setup

1. Download, install, and activate Trigno Discover from the Delsys Website. [See Trigno Discover: License Management & Installation]

2. Connect the System to the PC.

3. Connect Trigno Link using the supplied USB cable; the LED should turn orange.

4. Open Trigno Discover; Trigno Link’s LED turns green, and the Trigno Link tab appears.

Step 2: Pair Sensors & Devices

1. Pair third-party Compatible Devices in the Trigno Link tab:

   1. Click “Scan for Sensors”, select BLE or ANT+, choose the sensor types you require and click “Start Scan”.

      1. ANT+ Pairing: LED flashes orange

      2. BLE Pairing: LED flashes magenta

Important

• Avanti-Style Sensors must be connected for operation. At least one is required.

Information

• Trigno Link operates in either BLE or ANT+ mode, not both simultaneously.

Step 3: Configure Devices

1. Adjust Avanti-Style Sensors Mode, Sampling Rates, and Sensor Name & Channel Name. [see Trigno Discover: System Configuration]

2. Configure your compatible devices as needed. Compatible devices can be configured in the Trigno Link tab.

Information

• Some compatible devices do not allow configurations of their settings.

Step 4: Start Data Collection

1. Click Start Collection to record data from all connected sensors and devices.

Please refer to the following page for more specific information on how to use each compatible device to collect data:

• Trigno Link: Jamar Hand Dynamometer

• Trigno Link: Moxy Muscle
