Shimmer
ConsensysPRO
Record, plot and manage data from many Shimmers at once, in the lab or the field.

Overview
ConsensysPRO is Shimmer's Windows software for configuring Shimmer sensors, streaming data live and managing recorded data. Used with a Consensys Base6, Base15 or Shimmer Dock, it can set up many sensors at once and import their logged data into an SQL-based database. It adds processing such as orientation, heart rate and event annotation on top of the free ConsensysBASIC version.
Built for
- Large, repeatable multi-sensor trials
- Field data collection with logged sensors
- Live multi-sensor streaming in the lab
- Managing and exporting recorded datasets
Key features
Multi-sensor configuration
Configures up to 15 Shimmers at once on a Consensys Base15.
Synchronised live streaming
Streams synchronised data over Bluetooth from up to 7 Shimmers at a time.
Built-in algorithms
Includes 6 DoF and 9 DoF to quaternion, ECG to heart rate and PPG to heart rate, online and offline.
Annotation and context
Event markers, annotations and text descriptors can be added to datasets.
Data management
Data is stored in an SQL-based database and can be exported as raw or calibrated files.
Lab Streaming Layer
Shimmer data can be timestamped and streamed to LSL recorders such as Lab Recorder.
