Loading a Setup
This will re-configure all data channels, stick figure views and graph views. If you already
have a data file loaded then any graphs currently displayed for the data file will be
removed, and new ones will be created.
To load a setup:
Choose Load Setup from the Setup menu.
If you keep setup files for different projects or marker configurations in different
directories, then select the correct directory from the directory list in the dialogue box.
Type or select the name of the setup to load, and choose OK.
After loading a Setup file, its name is added to the Codamotion Analysis title bar, e.g.
“[GAIT.STP]”.
Saving a Setup
This will store the current set of marker names, EMG channel names, graph
configurations and options to a setup file which you can load at any time. Before you save
a setup, it is best to arrange the graphs into a clear layout on the screen and to iconize
some if you have a large number. You can do this with the Window menu Cascade and
Tile commands. An iconized view will be stored as such in the setup file.
To save a setup:
Choose Save Setup from the Setup menu.
If you are using different directories for different projects, select the directory to which
this setup applies.
Type a unique name for the setup in the File Name box, and choose OK.
Modifying an Existing Setup
You will sometimes want to make changes to an existing setup file, and to create a new
setup it is usually easier to modify an existing one, as many of the options, graph
configurations, variables etc. will be the same.
To Modify a Setup:
Open a suitable data file, as explained in the section Working with Data Files.
Load the setup you wish to modify, as explained in Loading a Setup.
Make any changes you wish: change options from the Setup menu, resize, move,
create, or delete graphs.
Choose the Save Setup command from the Setup menu. In the dialogue box, select
the name of the setup which is currently loaded. Choose OK. A dialogue box will ask
you if you want to overwrite the existing setup file. Choose Yes.
Now if you load the setup, the setup will appear with the changes which you have made.
