It is sometimes useful to compute quantities which in some way collapse the time dimension of traces (e.g., the mean value of a trace over a duration) or the spatial dimension of models (e.g., the center of mass of entire model). These quantities are called [[Metrics|metrics]] and they do not vary as a function of time or any other variable. A number of [[Metric_Commands|pipeline commands]] exist to calculate common metrics from signals. | It is sometimes useful to compute quantities which in some way collapse the time dimension of traces (e.g., the mean value of a trace over a duration) or the spatial dimension of models (e.g., the center of mass of entire model).

Inspect3D's main purpose is to help users explore their data in a way that is both intuitive and meaningful. That being the case, it's helpful to understand the types of data that are stored in .c3d files, .cmz files, and that Inspect3D is able to handle.
Parameters
Parameters are individual metadata items from a .c3d file. These define the data collection process (e.g., the number of analog channels or the sampling rate) and specify the location and type of data within the file. Parameters may be as simple as a single number or as complex as a list of names.
Signals
Events
Events indicate specific moments in a .c3d file with semantic meaning, such as Right Heel Strike for walking or Arm Cock Start for throwing. Visual3D can automatically create gait events if the .c3d file includes force platform assignments, otherwise it is necessary to reconstruct these events from the file's kinematic data.
