Common firefighter training movements

use the first few cases in our test. I will work on creating a short,
simple application that logs the accelerometer values over time.
•Open and close a fire hydrant with a hydrant wrench, 17 turns each
way
•Climb and descend an aerial ladder set at 60 degrees up 50 feet
•Drag a 2-inch hose charged with water (100 psi) 100 to 200 feet
•Operate a 30-foot extension ladder, which requires pulling a rope
with tension equivalent to lifting a 50-pound bag of cement
•Carry a 12-foot ladder through an obstacle course
•Perform an attic, or crawl space, crawl in full firefighter gear,
including SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus)
•Complete search and rescue drills

Instead of creating or editing the SensorTest app, I have found a
free sensor graphing application on the Android Market that is
accurate. What it does is that it takes the raw values and graphs
them. The said application is called Sensor Insider Lite by
LacunaTech. Information on this application can be found on Androlib
at http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-lucanatech-sensorinsider-lite-qntq.aspx.
With this application we will be able to test for typical extremes
involved in common motions and maneuvers that firefighters undergo.
For the sake of this saving time, we will not be testing for the other
maneuvers like opening fire hydrants with a wrench and attic or small-
space crawling. Instead, we will focus on walking, running, and simple
crouching. Because it is a Lite edition it will not allow us to save
the values as a spreadsheet but we can still set the duration to 60
seconds and take screenshots using Eclipse's DDMS after everytest to
capture the maxima.

accelerometer doing various manuevers and motions. Later on I will
highlight key parts of the graphs and show comparable firefighter
training videos whose maneuvers or scenarios we tried to re-enact. In
the meantime, I will focus on the interim report that is due today.
