If your session does not match with this configuration, you can place the emg.settingscopy file into your data folder, then amend it.
Do it manually or through the command
- open a miniconda prompt
- change your current directory to target the data folder
- run the command
pycgm2.exe SETTINGS Edit -ecopy orpycgm2.exe SETTINGS Edit --emgcopy
For instance, if your emg 1 and 2 are placed on the gluteus medius rather than the rectus femoris, open the emg.settingscopy and edit the section
CHANNELS:
