Development of a Portable Data Acquisition System for Human Performance Assessment in the Field - Phase 2A

Abstract : The second stage of the development of a portable human performance assessment system, based on the Embla data acquisition unit, is described in this report. The objective of the portable system development is to produce a modular system, which will allow the user to select a combination of variables to be measured from freely moving human subjects, e.g. soldiers carrying out field exercises. The specific objectives of this work were to solve problems previously identified with the Embla data acquisition system and identify, design and produce a second portable system module.
