 ===Example 3===
-Computing stats for left ankle angle: This group of commands results in a metric signal being created in the SIGNAL_STATS folder for all components of the left ankle angle during a trial. The command appends the string "X_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the X-Component of the signal; "Y_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the Y-Component of the signals.;"Z_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the Z-Component of the signals.
+Computing stats from force plate data for left ankle angle using **Automatic Gait Events**: This group of commands results in a metric signal being created in the SIGNAL_STATS folder for all components of the left ankle angle during a trial. The command appends the string "X_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the X-Component of the signal; "Y_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the Y-Component of the signals.;"Z_Stats" to the name in the /Signal_Names parameter containing values related to the Z-Component of the signals.
+Gait events describe key moments in the walking or running cycle - such as heel-strikes and toe-offs. If [[Visual3D:Documentation:Kinematics_and_Kinetics:External_Forces:Force_Assignment|Force Platform assignments]] exist for a motion trial, the **Automatic_Gait_Events** command __automatically__ detects these gait events and places an **event label** at the frames where the subject steps ON and OFF the surface of the platform.
+Start by loading any trial with force plate data for a gait cycle. First, we will use **Automatic Gait Events** to label the key events in the cycle.
+<code>
+Automatic_Gait_Events
+! /FRAME_WINDOW=8
+! /USE_TPR=TRUE
+! /TPR_EVENT_INSTANCE=1
+;
+</code>
+Next we will use **Metric Compute Gait Signal Stats** to calculate key statistics for the **left ankle angle** using the events we just defined.
