MVN User Manual

When all trackers have been detected, it may take some time (up to 30 seconds) to secure the network

and for the 3D character to appear. Additionally, it may take several seconds for the battery status to

display, please be patient to allow the information from each tracker to be transmitted to MVN Studio.

7.8.1 Relocating motion trackers

Each Xsens motion tracker has a unique location

ID which relates them to the limb segment they

should be placed on. If for some reason, a tracker

has the wrong ID assigned to it, e.g. if an

additional motion tracker is detected or a broken

MT needs to be replaced with a spare, this can

be done easily by reassigning the MT’s ID to the

desired position.

To assign a tracker to a different segment, drag

and drop the ID to the Location, or vice versa.

Alternatively, right click in the correct row and

select “Update location to”. To ensure that the

changes are saved, go to >Tasks >Reinitialize

suit(s).

Note that if two motion trackers are accidentally

exchanged, for example on the hands or feet, do

not use this function but reconnect the MT’s to the

appropriate side and wait for the hardware status

to update.

7.8.2 MVN Awinda: Changing Radio Channel

For MVN Awinda users, the Hardware Status is necessary in order to configure the network

detection status of the system.

Figure 26 Shows a list of motion trackers expected to be found by the MVN Awinda system. The

icons of these trackers are black indicating that they are expected but not yet detected. As the

Awinda Station is searching for MTw’s, the CONN LED of the Awinda Station, or the white LED of

the Awinda USB dongle blinks rapidly. As each MTw connects, its LED will blink synchronously with

that of the Awinda Station and its indicator will turn green in the Hardware Status window, see

Figure 27.

When the trackers has been detected, the status of the remaining battery power ( ) and the

wireless strength ( ) of each tracker is available, see Figure 27 for an example.
