Ambulatory Testing
Place BluMOCA receiver radio into pocket on the pig jacket.
Wake the coloMOCA with the waker set between 9V-15V, 1.5A.
Plug the Bluetooth dongle into the computer.
Record from ColoMOCA using LabVIEW software; take notes about pig movement, eating, bowl movement etc.
Turn off ColoMOCA with waker.
Remove BluMOCA receiver.
