The group definition dialog is used to define which signals you want to query from the CMZ library and allows you to group data together (ex. right and left side, intact/affected).
Sections
Group Definition File
You can save group definitions (.q3d) so they can be loaded again (for use on the same or a different CMZ library). You can save one group definition at a time to a file, or all files.
Groups and Sub Groups
You can define Groups and Sub-Groups.
A Group would be "AnkleMoment_X"
A Sub-Group would be "LAnkleMoment_X" and "RAnkleMoment_X"
A group can have as many Sub-Groups as necessary (1-N)
Note: Groups and Sub-Groups can use spaces and special characters - if you plan to update the CMZ files with exclusions, be cautious using special characters. Sub-Group names can be repeated in different groups (but not within the same group).
Sub-Group Definition
The Sub-Group Definition lets you define the signals you want to query. These signals are defined using the following information:
Signals
Name of the signal as it is referenced in the Visual3D Data tree:
Type
Folder
Name
Component
Negate Results
Events
Events you want to use to normalize the data to:
Event Sequence: Events to normalize data to
Typically Kinematic Signals are normalized from R/LHS to R/LHS
Typically Kinetic Signals are normalized from R/LON to R/LHS
Exclude Events:
Event sequences that data should not be included
Number of Points: Typically a gait cycle is normalized to 101 data points
Spline Type: Cubic or Linear - you should use a cubic spline to normalize the data
Refinement
Refinement:
Refine using tag: Any tags that exist in the workspace can be selected
Use AND Logic: If two tags are selected:
Checking AND will only include trials that contain both tags
Unchecking AND will include any trials that contain either tag
Refine using signal: Allows you to add further requirements to query a signal
Refinement allows you to say if this trial contains "Signal X", check if that signal meets the specified criteria.
Refinement Name: Each refinement in a sub-group requires a unique name
Signal Definition: Specify the signal you want to work with as it is referenced in the Visual3D Data Tree
Type:
Folder:
Name:
Component:
Value Must Be: Options are:
Less Than: Specify a threshold the signal must be less than
Greater Than: Specify a threshold the signal must be greater than
Equal To: Specify a threshold the signal must be equal to
Not Equal To: Specify a threshold the signal must not be equal to
Between: Specify two values the signal must be between
