Downloading Data from Devices - VECTOR 7

Why Download Data from Devices?

Data is recorded on the Device in a 'Raw File', which is created every time the Device is turned on; up to 30 Raw Files can be stored on a Device at once. Downloading Data from the Devices is an important step in getting the most out of the metrics recorded on the Device. It is necessary to apply Sport Specific Algorithms (GK Dives, QB Throws etc.), for IMA metrics to be calculated and more. 

Note the Downloading of Devices is also called a Data Transfer.

5. Select Begin Transfer to start downloading the devices.
