The MotionMonitor® with Support for Scripted Protocols

Scripts provide an elegant method for creating incredibly complex data collection completely under computer control without intervention from the researcher.

 

Scripted Protocols

  • The MotionMonitor® has introduced user-defined protocols for digitizing landmarks during subject setup and user-defined script files to control the posting of messages, loading of preference files, and initiation of data collection.
  • User-defined protocol and scripting functions ensure a more consistent and accurate data collection experience without restricting the broad range of options presently available to the researcher.
  • In the image to the right, "Use protocol" has been checked for defining Segment Axes and Endpoints. The edit dialogs allow the user to specify the number and specific name of landmarks to be digitized. The user is then free of the keyboard and mouse during setup.
  • Scripts provide an elegant method for creating incredibly complex data collection completely under computer control without intervention from the researcher.
  • Scripts can be edited and saved in the Setup Menu and run in the Interact Menu.
  • Message commands can be presented to prompt the data collector to perform specific trials or establish desired conditions for collection.
  • The "Pref" command loads the preference files which allow data collection to proceed automatically from trial to trial with completely different conditions and logic controls as specified in the capture, biofeedback and playback parameters.
  • The "Biofeedback" command will initiate collection of data as specified in the preference file.
