10.6 DoubleChannel control with 1 electrode
INFORMATION
For this control mode, an electrode must be connected to input1.
With this control mode, the prosthetic component is opened with a quick and strong signal and
closed with a slow, gentle signal.
The gripping strength can be adjusted via the 560X3=* MyolinoSoft software.
Digitally; fast strong signal on the electrode opens the prosthetic component at

Program
DoubleChannel Quick, strong electrode sig-
nal that reaches the upper
threshold within 80 ms and is
maintained above the upper
threshold for at least 40 ms.

CLOSE
Declining electrode signal
through muscle relaxation.
Grip force: Proportional to the
decline of the electrode signal.
After gripping once with maxi-
mum force, the EMG signal
required to OPEN the Hand
will be set to a higher value.
Opening the prosthetic compo-
nents with unintended electrode
signals is prevented.
