Temperature Monitoring
Mini Mitter has been the source for small animal temperature telemetry for over 30 years. With our Series 4000 E-Mitters, monitoring body core temperature can be performed with a minimum of effort. These temperature sensitive devices alter their pulse rate in response to temperature changes. The VitalView system records the average rate and converts this to temperature using temperature calibration values specific to each unit.

Activity Monitoring
The Gross Motor Activity Measure provides a basic index of movement for subjects implanted with an E-Mitter. As the subject moves, movement of the implanted E-Mitter results in subtle changes in the transmitted signal. These small changes are detected by an ER-4000 Receiver via telemetry and noted as activity counts. VitalView records these counts to produce a longitudinal record of movement.
Circardian rhythms analyses recently got better! Due to your requests, VitalView 4.1 software now includes an additional filter that gives you a clearer view of ER-4000 activity rhythms. Click on the examples below to see the difference!

Heart Rate Monitoring (only available with Standard and G2 HR E-Mitters)
VitalView can record Heart Rate information reported in Beats Per Minute using
the PDT-4000 HR and G2 HR E-Mitters. Heart Rate is determined by recognition of the electrical
signals that stimulate the heart muscle to contract. These signals are processed
and interpreted by the E-Mitter. The results are transmitted to the ER-4000 Energizer
Receiver via telemetry.
