The ProCalc tab for defining input parameters looks like this:
To define input parameters:
- Either select an existing parameter to edit, or create a new one by clicking the Add button just below the list.
- Enter a suitable name for the parameter.
- Select the appropriate type for the parameter:
- Subject parameter. Read from the Vicon Nexus subject parameters associated with the trial, if available, eg: Subject Height.
- Constant Parameter. A constant value, optionally with a unit, eg: PI = 3.14156 (unitless) or ForcePlateLength = 500mm.
- Constant Vector. The 3D equivalent of the constant parameter, eg: ForcePlateOffset = { 300, 200, 0 } mm.
- Constant Euler Angle. The 3D angle equivalent, eg: OffsetAngle= < 15, 30, 0 > deg.
- Calculated Parameter. Used when you need to feed an output parameter from a previously processed trial (typically a static or calibration trial) as an input parameter, eg: WandOffset = 14mm.
- Enter the relevant value, and select the Quantity and Unit.
- If you’ve defined subject measurements for the trial in Nexus, ProCalc automatically recognizes these. If you are defining a Subject Measurement as an input parameter to ProCalc, you will see the Nexus-defined subject measurements in the drop-down list below the parameter name. To automatically complete the parameter name field correctly, select the required subject parameter and then click Use.
- Save the scheme by clicking the Save button at the top.
