Measurement Technique
When you are using the Hand-Grip Heart Rate Sensor, grasp the hand grips firmly but
not too tightly in the palms of the hands so that one of the metallic sides of each grip
is in the center of the palm. Measurements will be easier and more accurate if the
hands are clean and dry.
Sampling
By default, the Hand-Grip Heart Rate Sensor continuously monitors the time between
beats, calculates the beats per minute, and averages the beats per minute within a five
second interval. The average is then displayed. This process tends to “smooth” the
collected data.
