Hibernate sensors from Capture.U Desktop

In Capture.U Desktop 1.4.1 or later, you can hibernate any sensor that is in the sensor list.

Hibernating a sensor places it into 'ship' mode, which effectively turns off the current to the sensor to help prolong its charge while it is not in use. This helps to:

• Promote a healthier battery by limiting the time a sensor is at 0% charge
• Prolong the battery life by reducing the number of charge cycles required to fulfill the above

Place sensors in hibernation mode

To place a sensor in hibernation using Capture.U Desktop:

1. Ensure the sensor is currently connected to Capture.U Desktop.
   Note: You cannot place a sensor in hibernation mode while it is actively collecting data.

2. Navigate to the sensor tab and expand the sensor you want to hibernate. 

3. Click Hibernate.

   

4. Verify that the correct sensor is selected, then click Hibernate.

   If you have chosen the wrong sensor, click Cancel and repeat steps 2 and 3.

    

   A message informs you if the sensor hibernated successfully.

   

The sensor is removed from the whitelist of any iOS device until it is removed from hibernation.

Remove sensors from hibernation

To remove a sensor from hibernation, take the sensor out of the cradle, re-cradle it and plug the USB cable into a power source.

After a brief pause, both LEDs indicate that it is charging (see Understand Vicon IMU sensor status).
