After a measurement, the totalised pressure distribution is displayed. The colour of the display provides information about the level of pressure. With a click on
At the top right, older measurements of the customer can be selected.
After clicking on "Measurement", the live dialogue opens. When measuring with USB, it only takes a few seconds to establish a connection. When measuring with WLAN, it takes a little longer to establish the connection for the first measurement. As soon as the live dialogue appears, you can start the measurement by clicking on "Start measurement". The patient stands approx. 2-3 steps away from the measurement platform and walks over the platform with their left foot at their usual walking speed. The measurement is automatically saved and displayed immediately afterwards. After the left foot has been measured, the right measurement field is selected on the user interface and the "Measure" button is clicked again.

This takes you to the user interface of the measured value recording module. This module is used to record measured values from the connected GeBioM hardware and process measurements. At the top right, you can switch between the two measuring systems MobilData and MultiSens can be selected. If you have not already done so, please select MultiSens. The left-hand side is selected on the user interface, which can be recognised by the red border. At startup, the left foot is activated by default.
With the software module GP FootPrint the plantar pressure distribution in the barefoot gait is measured and can then be analysed.
If you have opted for data transfer via USB cable, please connect the enclosed cable to the disc and PC. Please always use the original USB cable.
The pressure measuring plate does not have an integrated rechargeable battery. In USB mode, it is automatically supplied with power via the USB port of your PC.
When using the device for the first time, it is important that your PC is connected to the Internet so that the driver can be downloaded from the Internet and installed automatically.
Before the pressure measuring plate can be used for the first time and after each new calibration, the user is obliged to download the latest calibration file. Instructions for this are described in the following chapter: 1.3 Calibration cycles.
Now open the already installed GP Manager and start a measurement in the GP foot pressure module.
If you have decided to measure via USB, skip this section and go straight to the next chapter 3.2 Measuring with USB
If you have opted for wireless data transfer via WLAN, please plug the WLAN stick supplied into a free USB port on your PC. If your PC already has a WLAN interface, you can use the internal WLAN interface on your laptop. In this case, however, please note that you can only connect to one WLAN network at a time. The connection to your company WLAN would therefore be disconnected for the duration of the measurement, for example.
The pressure measuring plate does not have an integrated rechargeable battery. Ensure that the plate is powered by connecting the enclosed USB cable and adapter to a nearby power socket. Alternatively, you can also use a power bank as a power source.
The plate is now switched on and the LED on the top of the housing lights up. To start a measurement, you must first connect to the WLAN of the hard disk. The WLAN name corresponds to the serial number of your hard disk The WLAN is open and therefore has no password. It is advisable to activate the automatic connection.

Our support team will install the software for the pressure measuring plate and activate all the required modules. You will be guided through the individual steps of the installation. If you have already installed the GP Manager, an update to version 7.4. is necessary for the hardware to function properly.
Measure with WLAN or USB, the choice is yours. After successful installation or update, our support team will set up your preferred data transmission.
