Delsys Trigno
The Trigno systems are engineered for modern human neuroscience and movement science research. Each Trigno sensor captures high-fidelity surface EMG and triaxial accelerometery data, enabling simultaneous monitoring of muscle activation and motion dynamics.
The Trigno ecosystem supports Python, MATLAB, and C# environments, allowing for seamless inclusion in multimodal experimental pipelines alongside EEG, motion capture, or brain stimulation systems.
Built for reliability, flexibility, and scalability, the Trigno platform supports real-time streaming, multimodal synchronisation, and advanced data export, enabling comprehensive insight into neuromuscular performance and coordination.
Compatibility
The Trigno systems are built to integrate effortlessly across diverse research setups.
From controlled lab studies to dynamic, real-world applications, the Trigno supports Windows and macOS, open APIs, and Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) for real-time data synchronisation.
Whether synchronising EMG with EEG, VR, TMS, or motion capture systems, Trigno ensures accurate, time-aligned data with uncompromised signal integrity.

Trigno Centro: Advanced Wireless Control Hub
The Trigno Centro is the command centre of the Trigno Wireless EMG platform, enabling simultaneous control and acquisition from up to 32 sensors. Its powerful communication and synchronisation capabilities make it ideal for high-density, multimodal research applications, with low-latency communication, dual-antenna transmission diversity, and multi-format data integration.
Key Specifications and Features of the Trigno Centro System:
- Wireless Range: 40 m+ with dual-antenna transmission diversity for stable data transfer.
- Wireless Protocol: Proprietary RF communication (2400–2483 MHz ISM band).
- Sensor Capacity: Supports up to 32 Trigno wireless sensors.
- Triggering: Four built-in BNC trigger ports for input/output, 5V or 3.3V, with constant time synchronisation pulses.
- Analog Inputs: Six high-frequency analog input channels up to 48 kHz for auxiliary bio signal integration.
- Microphone Input: 3.5 mm connector supporting 48 kHz audio sampling for synchronising acoustic or speech-related tasks.
Together, these features make the Trigno Centro a high-performance, low-latency control unit, ensuring synchronised acquisition across multiple bio signal sources.

Trigno Lite System
The Trigno Lite System combines research-grade EMG and motion sensing with the simplicity of a plug-and-play mobile setup, delivering high-quality physiological and biomechanical data anywhere, without the complexity of a full laboratory system.
By pairing Trigno wireless sensors with a compact USB receiver, researchers can stream synchronised EMG and IMU data directly to a laptop or tablet running Trigno Discover. The result is a streamlined workflow ideal for point-of-care assessments, classroom teaching, or mobile field studies, while maintaining the precision expected of Delsys technology.
Key Features of Trigno Lite:
- Wireless, research-grade EMG + IMU data collection
- Plug-and-play USB receiver for simple, mobile setup
- Proprietary RF synchronisation ensuring all sensors record in perfect alignment
- Trigno Discover software for real-time signal visualisation, data storage, and export
- Compatible with a range of Trigno sensors, providing flexibility across study designs

Trigno Link
The Trigno Link is a groundbreaking solution that seamlessly integrates neuromuscular, cardiovascular, ventilatory, and metabolic data within a single synchronised platform. By combining EMG muscle activation profiles with system-wide physiological measures such as VO₂ consumption, SmO₂, breathing rate, heart rate, and tidal volume, Trigno Link provides a complete, real-time view of human performance and adaptation.
This unique system enables researchers to study the body as an integrated network linking muscular activity to whole-body physiological responses, ideal for exercise science, sports performance, and human physiology research.
Key Capabilities of Trigno Link:
- Cardiovascular
EMG + Heart Rate (BPM)
- Ventilatory
