Welcome to Output! This guide will walk you through everything you need to begin using your sensor and app - whether you're setting up for the first time or starting your first session.


1. Pair Your Sensor

  1. Tap the sensor icon in the app's top-right to open Settings.

  2. Select “Pair New Sensor”.

  3. Choose your sensor from the “Discovered Sensors” list.

  4. Once connected, the light slows its flash and a colored circle appears around the sensor icon.


2. Athlete Profile Setup

  • Create a new athlete profile directly in the app - or select an existing one created by your coach or organisation - and you’re all set!


3. Take Your First Jump

  • Access the Output Exercise menu to log your first jump measurement.

  • Check your data - jump height, speed, and any insights the system provides.


4. Review & Analyse Your Progress

After your session, tap the three-dot icon (located at the top-right wherever you're viewing results) to access powerful features that help you break down and learn from your performance.

  • View your performance trends over time.

  • Select Leaderboards and toggle between different metrics (like jump height, velocity, etc.) and timeframes to find out who’s leading the pack.

Weekly Summary

The Weekly Summary gives you an overview of your training week (Monday–Sunday), compared to the previous week.

It shows:

  • Days active → The number of days you logged activity

  • Weight lifted → The total weight across all completed measurements for the week

  • Unique exercises performed → The number of distinct exercises completed

    • Example: Back Squat performed on 3 separate days = 3

    • Back Squat performed twice on the same day = 1

Note: Tap the Weekly Summary to open a detailed activity feed for your current week.

Top Performances

The Top Performances widget highlights your best results from your most frequently performed exercises over the past 30 days.

  • On phone → 3 performances are shown

  • On tablet → 4 performances are shown

  • Each performance displays the percentage change compared to the previous 30 days

  • Tap a tile to open the review screen for that measurement


5. Turning Your Sensor Off

  • Option A: Fully close the Capture app (swipe from bottom of the screen); the sensor will shut off automatically after ~5 minutes.

  • Option B: Press and hold the sensor’s button for 3 seconds until the light turns off.


6. Charging Your Sensor

  1. Connect the cable - Use the supplied USB charging cable. Plug the small end into the sensor’s charging port and the other end into a USB power source (laptop, wall adapter, or portable charger).

  2. Check the light – While charging, the sensor’s LED will glow solid amber.

  3. Fully charged – When the light turns green, your sensor is ready to go.

  4. Charging time – A full charge usually takes around 1 hour.

  5. Battery life – On a full charge, the sensor typically lasts for multiple training sessions (depending on usage).
