# Bio-Impedance Amplifier | Executables
|
||||||
|
This repository contains compiled Rust-based software for communicating with a custom-built bio-impedance amplifier.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Features
|
||||||
|
- Single-frequency and frequency-sweep measurements
|
||||||
|
- Real-time visualization of magnitude and phase
|
||||||
|
- Support for both 2-lead and 4-lead measurements
|
||||||
|
- Data logging to `.csv` files
|
||||||
|
- Day and night display modes
|
||||||
|
- Control via on-screen buttons or keyboard shortcuts
|
||||||
|
- Adding custom markers at specific timepoints
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

## `.csv` output format
|
||||||
|
### File Naming
|
||||||
|
- Output filenames are automatically adjusted.
|
||||||
|
- Files end with either:
|
||||||
|
- `_single.csv` for single measurements
|
||||||
|
- `_sweep.csv` for sweep measurements
|
||||||
|
- Single and sweep data are **never combined** in one output file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Marker Functionality
|
||||||
|
- A new feature **Add marker** is available during a measurement.
|
||||||
|
- Activating **Add marker** opens a popup:
|
||||||
|
- Can be triggered via button or shortcut key **A**
|
||||||
|
- Entered text is saved as a **marker** in the CSV output.
|
||||||
|
- Markers can later be detected and used in data analysis.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Time Reference
|
||||||
|
- Time values are expressed in **milliseconds (ms)**.
|
||||||
|
- Time starts from the moment the hardware is powered on or connected via USB.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
