+Tare and calibrating the force sensor
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Due to the analog nature of the force sensor, it must be tared and calibrated.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The tare process consists of indicating the state in which the sensor should
+ register a force of 0 Newtons.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The calibration process consists in increasing the force that the sensor
+ receives and establishing a linear relationship between force increase
+ and the electrical response of the sensor increase.
+\end_layout

+Calibration
+\end_layout

+\begin_layout Standard
+Calibration consists in establishing a linear relationship between the electrica
+l signal of the sensor and the real force.
+ This ratio may vary depending on the sensor, temperature, humidity ...
+ Therefore it is recommended to do a calibration once per session.
+ By default Chronojump will use a generic calibration.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+To perform the calibration, type in Chronojump the mass in kg of an object
+ whose weight is known.
+ Assuming you want to measure tensile forces, attach the object to the sensor
+ and lift it so that the sensor supports the weight of the object.

+\begin_layout Standard
+In most cases the weight of the force sensor must be taken into account

+\subsection{Taring and calibrating the force sensor}
+
+Due to the analog nature of the force sensor, it must be tared and
+calibrated.
+
+The taring process consists of indicating the state in which the sensor
+should register a force of 0 Newtons.
+
+The calibration process consists in increasing the force that the
+sensor receives and establishing a linear relationship between force
+increase and the electrical response of the sensor increase.
+
+To perform the tare and calibration process you must press the Adjust
+button
\foreignlanguage{spanish}{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{/home/xpadulles/chronojump-docs/images/ForceSensor/Adjust-Button_es}}.
+
+The following options will appear:

+
+
+\selectlanguage{british}%
+
+\subsubsection{Taring (previous to calibration)}
+
+To carry out this process place the sensor hanging from one end without
+supporting any external force apart from its own weight. Then press
+on the Tare button. Chronojump will record for a few seconds and save
+the result.

+\end{figure}
+
+
+\selectlanguage{british}%
+
+\subsubsection{Calibration}
+
+Calibration consists in establishing a linear relationship between
+the electrical signal of the sensor and the real force. This ratio
+may vary depending on the sensor, temperature, humidity ... Therefore
+it is recommended to do a calibration once per session. By default
+Chronojump will use a generic calibration.
+
+To perform the calibration, type in Chronojump the mass in kg of an
+object whose weight is known. Assuming you want to measure tensile
+forces, attach the object to the sensor and lift it so that the sensor
+supports the weight of the object.\foreignlanguage{spanish}{}

+\selectlanguage{british}%
+\end{figure}
+
+
+In case you want to measure compression forces, let the weight rest
+on the sensor having previously removed the eyebolts from it.
+
+The closer the weight is to the forces to be performed, the more accurate
+the measurements with that calibration will be. Once the weight is
+stable and stable, click on the calibrate button.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Taring (aftercalibration)}
+
+In most cases the weight of the force sensor must be taken into account
+when measuring the force exerted by the analyzed subject. In this
+case, before performing the data acquisition, a new tare must be done
+but this time with the sensor in a horizontal position on a stable
+horizontal surface and without any external force.
+

+In the case where the subject does not have to support the weight
+of the force sensor, it will not be necessary to do this new tare.

+\subsection{Exercise analysis}
+
+There are two types of analysis:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Manual analysis: Allows the different variables to be analyzed millisecond
+to millisecond.
+\item Automatic RFD analysis: Performs an automatic analysis of an isometric
+force test in which, starting from a minimum or zero force, the subject
+tries to reach the maximum force possible in the shortest time possible.
+This force will remain for a few seconds.
+\end{itemize}
+

+\subsubsection{Automatic RFD test}
+
+Chronojump allows, using a sensor force, to perform a test of maximum
+isometric force to measure some parameters like:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Instant force
+\item Maximum force
+\item RFD
+\item Impulse
+\end{itemize}
+This parameters can be measured from:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Real force or raw data (Black).
+\item Modeled force using an inverse monoexponential function (Blue).
+\end{itemize}
+The RFD refers to Rate of Force Development. This variable is the
+derivative or the slope of the function force versus time.
+
+
+\paragraph{Taring and configuring the force sensor}

+The taring process consists in indicating at which state the sensor
+should register a force of zero Newtons.
+
+To perform this process put the sensor in a horizontal and stable
+surface and, without supporting any external force apart from the
+weight. Then press the button \emph{Tare. }Chronojump will register
+for a few seconds and save the results.

+\paragraph{Calibration}
+
+The calibration consists in stablishing a lineal relationship between
+the electrical signal of the sensor and the real force. This relation
+could change in function of the sensor, temperature, humidity... For
+this reason it is recommended to calibrate once per session. By default
+Chronojump will use a generic calibration.
+
+To perform the calibration, in Chronojump enter the mass in kilograms
+of an object with a known weight. Tie this object to the force sensor
+and lift it making the sensor to hold all the weight.\foreignlanguage{spanish}{}

+
+
+The closer the weight is to the force you are going to perform in
+your tests, the more precision you will have with this calibration.
+Once you have the load lifted and stable, click on the calibrate button.
+
+
+\paragraph{Configuring the maximum isometric force test}
+
+The onset of the test is allways calculated automatically. The duration
+of the test can be configured automatically or manually.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Automatically: The test will be considered that is finished when the
+force falls a 5\% of the maximum force.
+\item Fixed: A fixed number of seconds from the begining of the test
+\end{itemize}
+In the Menu -> Session -> Preferences -> Force sensor tab you can
+config up to 4 values of RFD and 1 of impulse.
+
+In the figure is shown an complete example of configuration.

+\end{figure}
+
+
+\selectlanguage{british}%
+Each value of the RFD can be calculated from two types of signals:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The Raw signal shows the values of force registered by the sensor
+during the test. All that is refered to this signal will be black.
+\item The fitted signal refers to the inverse monoexponential function that
+better fits the raw data. This fitting is made adjusting the Fmax
+(maximum force) and K (the speed at which the maximum force is reached)
+or $\tau$ (tau).\footnote{Some papers express $k=\frac{1}{\tau}$, where $\tau$ means the time
+necessary to reach the 63.2\% of the Fmax. Another way of expressing
+K is as the initial RFD normalized by Fmax ($k=\frac{RFD0}{Fmax}$)
+because \foreignlanguage{spanish}{$RFD0=k*Fmax$.}}. All that is refered to this signal is blue.
+\[
+F=Fmax\text{�}\left(1-e^{-k\text{�t}}\right)
+\]
+
+\end{itemize}
+Besides, the RFD can be calculated in various ways:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Instantaneous. The RFD is calculated at the instant specified in milliseconds.
+\item Average. The RFD is calculated measuring the increment of force between
+two instants, specified in milliseconds, divided by the elapsed time.
+\item \% Force max. The RFD is calculated in the instant when the force
+is equal to a percentage of the maximum force.
+\item RFDmax. The RFD calculated is the maximum of the test.
+\end{itemize}
+In all cases the RFD is plotted as a line with a slope equal to the
+RFD and located at the points specified.

-
-Chronojump has a server to share data between users on Internet. The
-server will obtain valuable data from the cross of many variables.
-For this, the users may share the data Chronojump. We believe in the
-good quality and usability of the technical characteristics of the
-server.

-\section{Share and use the data}
-
-The data that can be shared are the tests, subjects and sessions of
-each evaluator at any time. The evaluator may upload to the server
-any session, dismissing those athletes and tests that he doesn\textquoteright t
-want to share. Before upload the data to the server, check if they
-have completed the necessary data from each of the athletes as well
-as the data required from the evaluator.
-
-
-\section{\label{sec:Calidad-de-los-datos}Data quality. Accredited assessors
-and reliable data}
-
-In order to get a lot of data, without sacrificing the quality, there
-are two types of data in terms of reliability:
-\begin{description}
-\item [{The~general~data}] that can be upload from anyone with the Chronojump
-technology. This will soon be available for many data that belongs
-to this category.
-\item [{The~reliable~data}] requires the accreditation of the evaluator
-and the justification of the session data. This deals with three different
-profiles of the evaluator:
-
-\begin{description}
-\item [{Evaluator-trainer}] profile: person related to the field of training.
-\item [{Evaluator-researcher}] profile: person related to the academic
-field.
-\item [{Mixed~profile:}] person involved in the two areas mentioned above.
-\end{description}
-
-The process of accreditation of the assessors has not yet begun, so
-all assessors are currently uncredited and the data shared corresponds
-to general data. In the future, the new credited evaluators may wish
-to upload their data to the reliable data, even if this data has been
-uploaded without the accreditation.
-
-
-The accreditation is in charge of the Research Group: Salut, Activitat
-F�sica i Esport at the Blanquerna Faculty (Universitat Ramon Llull).
-
-\end{description}
-
-\section{Server functions}
-
-Server functions can be located in the main menu, \emph{Tools / Server}.
-Below its described each of them.
-
-
-\subsection{Check connection}
-
-Allows connecting to the server. If not possible, it may be because
-the server is temporarily inoperative, your computer is not connected
-to Internet, or your Internet connection has limit on some types of
-connection.
-
-
-\subsection{\label{sub:Datos-del-evaluador}Evaluators data}
-
-This feature allows the evaluator to fill in a sheet which will be
-linked to the tests, subjects and sessions that will be shared. The
-personal information will be hidden. It\textquoteright s necessary
-to provide evaluation data for the following reasons:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item It\textquoteright s essential for uploading data.
-\item Allows knowing the nationalities, ages, equipment, evaluators\dots{}
-\item If problems occur with some data, the administrators can contact via
-mail to the server of the evaluator.
-\end{itemize}
-As discussed in Section \ref{sec:Calidad-de-los-datos}, currently
-the accreditation is not required, so the sheet that has to be filled
-is very short. See Figures \ref{fig:server_evaluador1}, \ref{fig:server_evaluador2}
-and \ref{fig:server_evaluador3}. to check the for data window for
-the evaluators.

-
-
-
-\subsection{Upload or update session to server}
-
-This is the most important function to share data. When the evaluator
-click on \emph{Tools / Server / upload (or update) session to server},
-he must follow this steps:
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item First, the evaluator will be asked to verify the data as described
-in paragraph \ref{sub:Datos-del-evaluador},
-\item then the evaluator will be asked if he wants to discard some of the
-subjects of the session (see Figure \ref{fig:server_include-discard}),
-\item then he will be asked for the confirmation,
-\item finally it shows a progress window of data to be incorporated into
-the server.
-\end{enumerate}

-
-\caption{\label{fig:server_include-discard}Include / Discard subject to the
-server. }
-\end{figure}
-
-
-At any time the evaluator can re-upload the session to the server
-(update). The data that has already been uploaded will not be included
-again, but it wills so, the data created the last time.
-
-The tests that have been simulated (not obtained from Chronopic) will
-be uploaded to the server.
-
-
-\subsection{Query the server}
-
-It has been created a window that allows average of the simple jumps,
-reactive jumps and simple runs. To access to it click on \emph{Tools
-/ Server / Query}. The query is performed clicking on the test selectors
-and the subject selectors.
-
-Below, we can observe the selectors of the query. Some of them are
-mandatory, while the most can be selected on \emph{Any} to indicate
-that this variable should not affect the result.
-
-
-\subsubsection{Test selector}
-
-Here are the three selectors and possible values:
-\begin{description}
-\item [{Test~type:}] simple jump test, reactive jump or simple run.
-\item [{Test:}] correspond to the type of test described above.
-\item [{Variable:}] the average obtained will be different depending on
-the test selected:\end{description}
-\begin{itemize}
-\item For a simple jump test without contact time the only variable is the
-\emph{flight time}.
-\item For a single jump with contact time, the variables are: \emph{time
-of flight, contact time, Index DJ} (see \ref{sub:=0000CDndice-Dj}),
-\emph{Index Q} (see \ref{sub:=0000CDndice-Q}).
-\item For a reactive jump the possible variables are: \emph{Average Index}
-(see \ref{sub:=0000CDndice-medio}) and \emph{Power (Bosco)} (see
-\ref{sub:Potencia-(Bosco)}).
-\item For the running the only variable is the \emph{time}.
-\end{itemize}
-
-\subsubsection{Selectors on the subject }
-
-The selectors are:
-\begin{description}
-\item [{Sex}]~
-\item [{Age:}] Refers to the age of the subject at the time the test is
-made. To calculate the age of the subject it\textquoteright s used
-the date of the birth.
-\item [{Country}]~
-\item [{Sport:}] Sometimes subdivided into specialty.
-\item [{Level:}] Divided into: {[}0{]} sedentary or occasional practitioner,
-{[}1{]} regular practice, {[}2{]} competition; {[}3{]} elite.
-\end{description}
-
-\subsubsection{Evaluator selector}
-
-Any data from a particular evaluator can be chosen. This option may
-be interesting even for yourself because this way is possible to quickly
-gather information from all the jumps that have been evaluated.
-
-
-\subsubsection{Query results}
-
-When you click the search button, after a few seconds the server will
-indicate how many results have been found and which is the average.
-
-It is recommended to conduct general searches because the server has
-been created recently. As an example of search, try with simple jumps
-(Free) with most of the indicators on \emph{Any}.
-
-In Figure \ref{fig:server_query} is an example of consultation.

-\subsection{Server main statistics}
-
-It has been programmed a window to get a snapshot of the existing
-data on the server. It shows the number of evaluators, as well as
-the subjects and the various type tests. Also indicated which data
-has been uploaded by the user who runs the program.
-
-You can access to this window by clicking on \emph{Tools / Server
-/ Statistics}.
-
-
-\section{Web statistics}
-
-The web page \url{http://www.chronojump.org/server.html} shows the
-results from the crossing variables updated from the server. These
-charts are updated every time new data is included (usually automatically
-at night). The aim is to create constantly a set of charts that provide
-relevant information to anyone interested, even without using Chronojump.
-
-In Figures \ref{fig:server_graph1}, \ref{fig:server_graph2}, and
-\ref{fig:server_graph3} it\textquoteright s possible to check some
-examples of graphics that are obtained on the web server.

+The green LED to the right of the USB socket should be on if the Chronopic
+is receiving no signal at all and should turn off in the other case.
+Check RCA connections following the instructions on the 9.4 section.
+
+First of all you must check that the LED D4 of the Chronopic is on
+once it is connected to the computer with the USB cable. Without no
+devices connected to the Chronopic, the RED LED to the right of the
+USB connector should be on. In case it is not check that the USB cable
+is OK and connected to the computer.
+
+The green LED to the right of the USB port shows the state of the
+device connected to the Chronopic. If no device is connected the LED
+shoud be on.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If the green LED is on, check the communication between the Chronopic
+and Chronojump running it and, with the Chronopic connected, perform
+some test. It is not necessary to connect any device to the Chronopic.
+You can use the test button to simulate any interruptor device as
+a contact platform or a photocell. When pressing the test button the
+green LED should switch off and Chronojump should detect the contact.
+If it is not the case see the next chapter.
+\item If the green LED is off, It probably is a hardware problem and a Chronopic
+or USB cable substitution is needed.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\chapter{Jumps}
+
+
+\section{The contact platform doesn't detect any jump.}
+
+Check the RCA cables following the instructions on the 9.4 section.
+
+If the cable doesn't show any of the above simptoms, connect the contact
+platform to the RCA cable already connected to the Chronopic. If the
+green light to the right of the USB connector turns off, it means
+that the two inner copper plates of the platform are in contact or
+that the RCA connector is in bad condition.
+
+In that case, check that there is no knocks on the corners of the
+platform that causes the two copper being in contact. If it is this
+way, you can use a flat screwdriver to separate the two copper plates
+and introduce some piece of paperboard or other insulating material.
+
+In the case that the problem is in the RCA connector it would require
+a substitution or cable repairing.
+
+
+\section{The height of the jumps is random and independent of the real height.}
+
+Check that the jump you are viewing in the software is not a simulated
+one. Before the 1.6.2, in the case of not having a Chronopic connected,
+Chronojump performs a simulated jump with random values. This can
+be checked in the bars and seeing if there is a ``Simulated'' word
+inside the height bars.
+
+To connect the Chronopic go to the section \ref{sec:Chronopic/s_connection}
+
+From 1.6.2 version and above this behavior only happens in the ``Simulated''
+session
+
+
+\section{In countermovement jumps, the height of jump are very low.}
+
+In some subjects, specialy those with low weight, during the excentric
+phase is detected a loss of contact with the platform. This is because
+of a too quick descent with an acceleration close to the gravity.
+This negative acceleration provoques the force exerted on the platform
+to be very little and, in conjuction with the light weight of the
+subject, his presence is not detected.
+
+In this occasions it is recommended to give instructions to the subject
+to not fall so quickly.
+
+Besides, the evaluator can press the Chronopic Test button until the
+subject starts the concentric phase of the jump.
+
+
+\chapter{Races}
+
+
+\section{The photocell barriers doesn't work when the athlete passes at high
+speed.}
+
+Check that the elapsed time between crossing one barrier and the next
+is greater than the time set to avoid double contacts. You can see
+the configuration at Menu -> Session -> Preferences -> Races.
+
+
+\section{The photocell doesn't switch on}
+
+The photocells need to be powered with altern current or direct current.
+Make sure that beside the RCA that connects the Chronopic and the
+photocells, they are connected to the power. To check that the photocell
+is switched on you there's is a LED in the front side that switch
+on when the photocell is powered. If the photocell is aligned with
+the reflector you should ear a clic each time you interrupt the beam
+with your hand.
+
+
+\section{The time counter doesn't start when the athlete crosses the photocell}
+If you have all the photocells powered and the time counter doesn't
+start it can be caused by a misaligned photocell. If this is the case
+the green light of the Chronopic will be switched off. If this is
+the case Chronojump interprets this situation as if the athlete is
+in the first photocell and have not started yet.
+
+To know if a photocell is aligned you can interrupt the beam with
+your hand. If the interruption causes a click, it means that is alligned.
+In other cases it means that the photocells is not aiming to the reflector.\foreignlanguage{spanish}{}

+\chapter{Encoder}
+
+
+\section{When capturing with an encoder Chronojump doesn't receive any signal
+at all.}
+
+Check that the Chronopic is connected to the computer with a USB calbe.
+If this is well connected the red light to the right of the USB connector
+should be switched on.
+
+Check that the encoder is connected to the Chronopic. Is older versions
+of the Chronopic the encoder is soldered directly to the Chronopic,
+but in the newer versions the connections are made with an RJ45 connector
+(the same type as in the LAN connections)
+
+In most of the inertial machines the Chronopic is integrated in the
+machine itself and can be more difficult to see the RJ45 connector.
+If you cannot locate this connector, contact your provider to ask
+for it.
+
+
+\section{When analysing a progressive loads test, all the repetitions have
+the same load.}
+
+Check that you have selected the mode Individual / current
session\includegraphics{/home/xpadulles/chronojump-docs/images/encoder-manual-images/analyze_individual_intrasession}
+and you have selected the repetitions of each set previously saved.
+
+
+\section{In the 1RM analysis, Chronojump doesn't show any 1RM}
+
+To show the value of the 1RM after a progressive loads test three
+conditions are needed.
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item The exercise must have defined the speed at which the 1RM is performed.
+\item It must have been performed a progressive loads test with at least
+three different loads.
+\item The loads mus be gravitational loads. In the inertial machines it
+doesn't exist the 1RM concept.
