It is important to note that when a reset is carried out, the subject should stand still in a magnetically
clean environment. Depending on the rest, some time is needed to build up good history again.
Character Reset (menu > Tasks > Character Reset, or Ctrl+Alt+F): This command partially resets the
filters, but keeps valuable information that was stored; the result is that the character will remain in its
horizontal position, and a shorter stabilization period is required (up to 30 s).
Full Reset (menu > Tasks > Full Reset, no shortcut key): This command will completely clear the filters.
This means that all previous knowledge that the system built up will be lost. The character will return to
the origin and a stabilization period is required. This means that the subject should walk around slowly
for about 30 seconds to a minute.
9.1.4 Real-time graphs
With an MVN BIOMECH license it is possible to view graphical representation of data even in real-time
and during recording.
To do this, click the graph icon, and as with offline graphs, click and drag items from the Navigator.
Figure 40: Real-time graphs
Figure 40 is a screenshot of MVN Studio with real-time graphs present. The key difference with this and
the offline graphs is the lack of time bar.
The real-time graphs have the same functionality as offline, for more information on graphs, see
Section 11.1.
Note that it is possible to zoom on the vertical axis. First ensure that “no auto-scaling is selected from
the drop down menu, and then select the magnifying glass icon to zoom. However given that it is not
possible to select a time window over which to observe the real-time graphical data, the recommended
setting during real-time preview is “Expand to fit”, or “Full Fit”.
