 The ORIGIN is the vector from the sensor coordinate system to the top center of the force platform surface. It is expressed in the force platform coordinate system, so the z-value is defined to be negative. The ORIGIN is the vector from the sensor coordinate system to the top center of the force platform surface.

 Contact the manufacturer because the origin value varies with the type of BERTEC force platform. For recent Force Platforms Bertec has elected to calibrate their force platforms differently from the other manufacturers. Contact the manufacturer because the origin value varies with the type of BERTEC force platform.

 Bertec uses an ORIGIN of (236,813,0) and (-236,813,0), which is a nuisance for Vicon users because Vicon stores the ORIGIN parameter incorrectly. Bertec uses an ORIGIN of (236,813,0) and (-236,813,0), which is a nuisance for Vicon users because Vicon stores the ORIGIN parameter incorrectly.

 Vicon users with Bertec treadmills, should use a very small z-component 0.0001 so that Visual3D knows to multiply by -1. Vicon users with Bertec treadmills, should use a very small z-component 0.0001 so that Visual3D knows to multiply by -1.

 The C3D file format is a public document (http://www.c3d.org) that most hardware vendors currently export. We are only aware of one implementation of the format that has an inconsistency that Visual3D must handle explicitly. The C3D file format is a public document (http://www.c3d.org) that most hardware vendors currently export.
