 It will produce a written report detailing the force platform's location in your lab. This report can be saved as a text file and the values can be inputted into the data collection software that you use.

   - In the Select Force Platform section, select the Force Plate you wish to locate using the drop down box.
   - In the Define Force Platform Dimension section, check that the FP Length and FP Width are correct. If they are, make sure that the Use Current Dimension radio box is selected. If they are not, select Use New Dimension radio box and change the FP Length and FP Width to the correct values.
   - Select the button **Animate All Files**.\\

   - Wait for Visual3D to calculate the configuration. This may take a few seconds.
   - The CalTester Results window will open and present the following: the output for the force platform, the corrected location (in mm), the force platform center, the rotation matrix (into lab space), the cardan angles to rotate from lab to force platform, the cardan angles to rotate from force platform to lab space, the nexus orientation parameters, and the Visual3D command.
