Thank you for your answer! However, I still have some doubts since we really need to understand the default values. Although, from the in-house testing that we did, the step detector and counter seem to work correctly, we may want to use this device in a different population that potentially shows a specific walking pattern. Having this said, we need to be aware of what the parameters mean so we can correctly adjust them. I will focus on the most important doubt we have, which is related to the 3. question and the acceleration-related parameters: - env_min_dist_up corresponds to the upper threshold for acceleration magnitude - env_min_dist_down: lower threshold for acceleration magnitude These values correspond to low acceleration values, such as 0.149g, which is around 1.49 m/s² (with the approximation of g = 10 m/s²). These values can't correspond to peak acceleration values. From our experiments, the peak accelerations achieved during walking are around 10x these values. Thus, we want to understand what these parameters actually correspond to. Why is the default parameter equal to 0.149g and what does that mean in the acceleration signal context? We hypothesized that it could be a difference, like a threshold value, so when the difference between 2 points (ex: 2 peaks) was higher than 0.149g, the threshold would be met and possible a step would be detected (if complying with the other requirements to be a step). Can you please clarify what these two parameters mean? Thank you in advance, and hope to hear from you soon.
