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 name of the force plate, choose the corresponding force plate type, and set the parameters of the Bertec force plate on the right side: force plate specifications, position in space, orientation, and calibration matrix .
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, and we can see that the AD-simulated Bertec force plate has been added to the coordinate system (16.1.1.5), with the test bench number displayed on the force plate.
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 plate menu bar, and select "Force Plate Parameter Settings". After clicking on "+", a Bertec force plate will be automatically added. Select the name of the force plate to switch the force plate type. In the "Other Configurations" at the bottom of the force plate parameter settings window, check the option "Digital Force Plate (USB)" (16.1.1.7). In the "Force Plate Specifications" on the right side of the window, set the length and width according to the size of the force plate; the parameters in "Orientation in Space" and "Position in Space" can use the system default parameters or be modified according to your needs. The serial number of the force plate will be displayed in the "Serial Port" at the bottom right of the window.
Close the force plate parameter settings window. At this time, the Bertec force plate connected via USB has been added to the 3D view and can be used.
