Setting up the Flow System

Setting up the Flow System

Before beginning, ensure you are using a computer with Kortex installed (see Installing the Acquisition Driver). If using a laptop, plug it into a power source to prevent battery loss during use.

There are two versions of the Power/Data Cable, depending on when the Flow headset was purchased.

Original Power/Data Cable (With On/Off Switch)

This cable has three branches and includes an On/Off Switch at the split point.

1. Plug the Kernel-provided Power Bank into a wall outlet or power strip.
   NOTE:

   Use only the Kernel-provided Power Bank or an equivalent 100-Watt power brick.
2. Plug the shorter USB-C end of the Power/Data Cable (labeled PWR) into the Kernel Flow Power Bank.
3. Plug the USB-A end of the Power/Data Cable (labeled DATA) into the USB-A port of your data acquisition computer.
   1. If your data acquisition device has only USB-C ports, use a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
4. Plug the long USB-C end of the Power/Data Cable (labeled FLOW) into the USB-C connector on the Hub of the headset.

New Power/Data Cable (Without On/Off Switch)

This version is three-pronged but does not include an On/Off switch, and comes with a male-to-male USB-C connector.

1. Plug the female USB-C end of the Power/Data cable (labeled POWER) into one side of the male-to-male USB-C connector.
2. Plug the other side of the male-to-male USB-C connector into the Kernel Flow Power Bank.
3. Plug the Power Bank into a wall outlet or power strip.
4. Plug the USB-A end of the cable Power/Data cable (labeled COMPUTER) into your data acquisition computer.
   1. If your data acquisition device has only USB-C ports, use a USB-A to USB-C adapter.
