How do I receive live feedback with PULSE?

Live Mode allows you to view PULSE metrics immediately after each throw. This mode requires constant connection between the sensor and the mobile device, so it works best when the player and the connected mobile device can be within 30 feet of each other. 

The closer the mobile device can be to the player, the lower the chances of the sensor disconnecting from the app

First, connect to your sensor, tap the Advanced Features tab on the bottom of the screen (far right), then tap Live Mode. Each time you throw, your PULSE sensor will detect the throw, capture the throw data, and transfer the data from the sensor immediately to be displayed in the app. After a few seconds, the table of data will populate with the metrics from the most recent throw. Be sure to wait until the processing has completed and the numbers have populated before attempting another throw. 

The sensor may not transfer a new throw to the mobile device in real-time if it is busy transferring data to the app.

The table of metrics that are displayed for each throw in live mode includes Elbow Torque, Arm Slot, and Arm Speed. You also have the option to input the throw's velocity that you collect from an external radar gun by enabling the user-input ball velocity option by modifying the displayed metrics as shown below. 

You can modify which metrics are displayed, the order that the metrics display on the screen, as well as the size of each metric displayed. Tap on the Rearrange icon on the top-right of the table. Select the metrics you wish to display in the order in which you want to display them, then tap Next. Tap the + and - icons to adjust the size of each metric. Tap Done when complete.

  

Live Mode provides color-coded arrows in the top-right corner of each metric cell that are based on the normative ranges in our database based on the athlete's height, weight, and competition level.

To read more about what each metric means, how it is calculated, and what the ranges are, tap on any metric value in the table.

 

Swiping right and left on the table allows you to scroll back through all events from today. Tap on the TAG button to change the tag for each throw. The top tag is used to create a tag for the next throw; the bottom tag is to create or change the tag for the throw that is currently being viewed.

If enabled, tap on the User-Input Ball Velocity cell to input a ball velocity for each throw. Tapping on the Chart icon in the top-left of the table will take you to Today's Data mode which will allow you to view the data in a graphical format.
