Clocks calibration #1

Problem: Inevitably, the event timestamps will have some offset with respect to the physiological measurements. These two types of data (measurements and events) will need to be aligned.

I am assuming that there will be two devices:

  1. The tablet
  2. A desktop computer to which the sensors are connected

Potential solutions: Simplest Have the person holding the tablet and the person at the computer press a button simultaneously at the beginning of the session. The timestamps can be used to compute offsets.

Discussed with Jim and Al, and this may not be a huge concern, as long as the clocks are within seconds of each other (computer/tablet).

Could likely be done via Bluetooth with a small Java program on the computer.
