GripAlyzeR is used to conduct and record trials in an experiment, analyze, quantify and plot the results for data obtained with the gripper hardware. The software communicates with the Gripper device through a DAQPad and the device interface to acquire force sensor data.

The force sensor data obtained from the Gripper IV are segmented based on the pulling force into an initial stable phase, a loading phase, a disengagement phase, and regaining stability phase. In healthy persons, grip and pulling forces increase linearly and proportionally. Departures suggest motor control problems.
