Biosignals PRO Device Events & Notifications


They provide feedback on the hub’s state and are logged even when no sensors are recording.
In Biosignals Studio, events appear as notifications or are stored on the device’s microSD card for later review.


Each event is categorized by severity level, with information for regular operation, a warning for minor issues, and an error for critical faults that require immediate action.

Severity Levels

Severity Level  Description
0 – InformationNormal operation or status notification Example: Connection established
1 – WarningNon-critical condition that may require user attention Example: Low battery
2 – ErrorCritical fault that interrupts operation or requires user intervention Example: SD card malfunction

⚠️ While Biosignals PRO can generate all listed device events, their visibility and configuration options may vary depending on the software used (e.g., Biosignals Studio or Developer Tools). Check your software documentation for a list of supported event types.  

General Device Events

System-level events reflecting overall device operation and internal state transitions.

EventsInformation
1Connection EstablishedIndicates that a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB connection has been successfully established.
2State ChangeLogged when the acquisition state changes (e.g., Standby  Idle, Idle  Recording).
3Internal ErrorTriggered when the system encounters an unexpected internal condition. Persistent errors should be reported to PLUX Support.

Sensor Port Events

Reports connection changes or communication issues on individual sensor ports.

EventsInformation
1Sensor Connected / DisconnectedIndicates when a sensor is attached to or removed from a port, including port number information.
2Port ChangeReports a change in port status (e.g., connected, disconnected, or power fault).
3Overcurrent DetectedTriggered when excessive current is detected on a port. The affected port is automatically disabled for protection.
4Communication or Configuration ErrorCovers failed port communication, unsupported configurations, or invalid sensor settings. These may prevent recording or sensor detection.

Some port events may include additional information, such as whether a newly connected sensor is powered or not.

For instance, removing and reconnecting a sensor in standby or idle mode will provide power to the sensor. However, removing and reconnecting during an active recording session will not power the sensor, and it remains turned off even when connected to the hub.

In this case, the port update event will provide additional context highlighting that the reconnected sensor is not being powered. The sensor can be turned on again after the recording session.

Recording Sessions

Defines and validates how recording sessions are started, managed, or stopped.

EventsInformation
1Failed Port Start / StopTriggered when a recording port cannot start or stop acquisition correctly.
2Settings ValidationConfirms that all session configuration parameters are valid before recording starts.
3Invalid Setting / Invalid Data RateTriggered when an invalid configuration or unsupported sampling rate is selected.
4Invalid Session ConditionOccurs when session start, stop, pause, or resume conditions are duplicated or logically conflicting.
5Schedule ValidationConfirms that the defined schedule and timing parameters are valid before execution.
5Snapshot DataIndicates that snapshot data packets are being transmitted to Biosignals Studio.
6Snapshot EndMarks the completion of snapshot transmission.

Memory & Storage (microSD Card)

Reports the status and health of the internal microSD card used for data logging.

Table 5: Memory & storage events

EventsInformation
1microSD Card Inserted / RemovedTriggered when a microSD card is inserted or removed from the device.
2SD Card ReadyIndicates that the card has been successfully mounted and is ready for data storage.
3SD Card MalfunctionTriggered when the SD card cannot be accessed or a read/write error occurs.
4Acquisition Time AvailableDisplays the remaining recording time based on available SD card capacity.

Power Management

Reports connection changes or communication issues on individual sensor ports.

Table 6: Power management events

EventsInformation
1Low Battery / Discharged BatteryBattery level dropped below a critical threshold (10% or lower). Device may shut down automatically if not charged.
2Battery Charging / Charging CompleteIndicates that charging is active or has finished successfully.
3Charger Connected / DisconnectedTriggered when the charger is plugged in or removed.
4Charger FaultReports an error in the charging circuit (e.g., NTC, battery, or boost fault).
5Charging-Level Low / CriticalBattery level below 10% or 5% while charging.

Sensor Events

Both internal and external sensors can generate their own asynchronous events that are passed through Biosignals PRO. These events vary by sensor type (e.g., electrode disconnection, signal threshold crossings, or signal quality alerts), as each sensor defines its own set of events.


For details and available sensor-specific events, refer to the corresponding sensor user manuals.

Biosignals PRO includes an onboard motion sensor that computes a Motion Intensity (Motion Score) metric.

As an alternative to recording the continuous Motion Score signal, you can configure motion-related events that trigger automatically when predefined thresholds or conditions are met — for example, detecting transitions between low and high movement intensity.

EventsInformation
1Rising Edge ThresholdTriggered when Motion Score exceeds the upper threshold (default: 70%), marking a transition to high motion.
2Falling Edge ThresholdTriggered when Motion Score drops below the lower threshold (default: 60%), marking a return to low motion.
3Tolerance Margin (Hysteresis)Adds a small gap between activation and deactivation points to prevent retriggering. Example: If motion activates above 70% and deactivates below 60%, small fluctuations between 65–70% won’t repeatedly start/stop events.
