Connecting Bertec Force Platform in AD Analog Mode
XINGYING software supports the integration of Bertec force platforms via NI6218/6225.
The AD access force platform scheme requires the use of the camera's trigger synchronization.
After connecting the force platform to the computer, the NI driver must be installed. Once the driver installation is complete, open XINGYING, click on the force platform in the menu bar at the top of the software, select "Analog Configuration, " and configure the analog channel of Bertec in the Analog Configuration window. Right-click in the list to select "Bertec--FP1", then configure the range of each channel according to the output range of the test platform you are using. Select a channel, and choose +/-10mV, +/-10V, etc., in the "Range" drop-down box for each analog channel. Click the "Select" button at the top left of the window to select all analog channels (16.1.1.1).
Click on the "ForcePlate" in the menu bar at the top of the software, select the "Force Platform Configuration" option, and click the "+" button in the Force Platform Configuration window to add a Bertec Force Platform (16.1.1.2);
Select the force platform name and set the parameters of the Bertec force platform on the right: force platform specifications, position in space, direction, and calibration matrix. Then click "Apply" (16.1.1.3)
After configuring the analog channels, you need to manually check the "Enable AD" option for the AD analog force platform (16.1.1.4). When using the AD analog force platform, if "Enable AD" is checked without adding channels, the software will display a prompt saying "The number of analog channels and force platforms does not match." At this point, you need to first configure the analog channels and then check the "Enable AD" option.
Close the settings window, connect the camera, and click the play button in the 3D view under real-time mode. You will see that the AD-simulated Bertec force plate has been added to the coordinate system (16.1.1.5), and the test stand's serial number will be displayed on the force plate.
USB Access to Bertec Force Platform
Power on the force platform. When the indicator light on the amplifier lights up, press the Zero button on the signal amplifier to zero the signal. Connect the analog signallinetotheamplifier,Insert the analog output to connect the sync line for triggering synchronization with the lens (16.1.1.6).
Connect the USB cable from the amplifier to the computer where the XINGYING software is installed.
Open the XINGYING software, click on the force platform menu bar, and choose "Force Platform Configuration." In the "Other Configurations" section at the bottom of the Force Platform Configuration window, check the "Digital ForcePlate(USB)" option (16.1.1.7). Click "+" to automatically add a Bertec force platform. Select the force platform name and set the length and width according to the size of the force platform in the "Force Plate" section on the right of the window. The parameters in "Orientation in Volume" and "Position in Volume" can use the system default settings, or you can modify them according to your needs. The "Serial ID" at the bottom right of the window will display the serial number of the force platform. After configuring the force platform parameters, click the "Apply" button to save the configuration.
Close the Force Platform Configuration window, connect the camera, and click the play button in Live 3D view mode. At this point, the Bertec force plate, connected via USB, has been added to the 3D view and is ready for use.
