Trigger Unit
Enable reliable, pulse-based synchronization between Impulse Wellness EMG systems and external devices (e.g., Vicon motion-capture) by conditioning a wide range of trigger signals into clean 5 V TTL pulses. Accepting inputs from ±2 V up to 20 V and fully configurable from our software — with a developer-friendly API for automation and custom scripts — it provides low-latency, research-ready triggering for integrated experimental setups.
Coming Soon! TTL Synchronization
The Impulse TTL Sync Interface enables reliable, pulse-based synchronization between Impulse Wellness EMG systems and external hardware such as motion capture systems, treadmills, stimulators, and more. By conditioning a wide range of incoming trigger signals into clean 5 V TTL pulses, it ensures your EMG recordings and external devices stay precisely aligned in time. With fully configurable behavior from our software and a developer-friendly API for Python and MATLAB, it’s built for modern research labs that need flexible, low-latency integration across devices.
Key Features
Wide input voltage range
Accepts input signals from approximately ±2 V up to 20 V, automatically conditioning them into standard 5 V TTL pulses for consistent, reliable triggering across diverse equipment.Clean 5 V TTL output
Generates sharp, debounced TTL pulses ideal for syncing Impulse Wellness EMG systems with external devices like Vicon motion capture, gait labs, robotics setups, and more.Software-configurable behavior
Configure thresholds, pulse widths, polarity, and routing directly from the Impulse software interface — no need to open hardware or adjust trim pots.Developer-friendly API (Python & MATLAB)
Trigger events programmatically using our API, enabling automated protocols, custom scripts, and closed-loop experimental designs from Python or MATLAB.Low-latency, research-ready triggering
Designed for time-critical experiments, providing deterministic, low-latency signal conditioning suitable for high-performance biomechanics, neurophysiology, and movement science applications.Seamless integration with EMGenius Software
Optimized to work out-of-the-box with Impulse Wellness's EMGenius software while remaining compatible with a broad range of third-party lab hardware.
Ideal For
The TTL Sync Interface is ideal for researchers, clinicians, and engineers who need precise temporal alignment between EMG data and external events. Typical use cases include:
