Multistatic
It is possible to apply two static trials to a single dynamic trial. This can be useful in many cases, for example, if you are:
- using a digitizing pointer, you can collect one static trial with the subject and another with just the pointer.
- doing a weightlifting trial, you can collect one static with the subject and another with just the bench.
- wanting to assign multiple models to a single dynamic trial.
NOTES You should NOT use this feature if:
- you collected two static trials because a marker fell off and was replaced. If this is the case, you would still need to associate the relevant static trials with the relevant dynamic trials.
- you have multiple subjects in a single dynamic trial. If this is the case, consult the Multisubject documentation.
Process
At a high level, the process for applying multiple static trials to a dynamic trial consists of loading in the static trials, applying model templates to them, and then applying them to the dynamic trial.
- Load two static trials by loading each trial individually:
- Model → Hybrid Model from C3D File load “StaticA.c3d”
- Model → Apply Model Template to apply model template for “StaticA.c3d”
- Model → Hybrid Model from C3D File load “StaticB.c3d”
- Model → Apply Model Template to apply model template for “StaticB.c3d”
- Load dynamic trials (File → Open)
- Assign static trials to dynamic trials:
- Model → Assign Model to Motion Trials
- Select a model: “StaticA.c3d”
- Check “Use Secondary Static Trials (Models)“
- Check “StaticB.c3d”
- Check appropriate dynamic trials
