When a force plate is selected in Motive, its device information gets listed under the Properties pane. For configuring force plate properties, use the Devices pane and modify the corresponding device properties.

For more information, read through the force plate setup pages:

• AMTI Force Plate Setup
• Bertec Force Plate Setup
• Kistler Force Plate Setup

Name

Name of the selected force plate.

Triggered Sync

Select whether the force plate is synchronized through a recording trigger. This must be set to Device when force plates are synchronized through recording trigger signal from the eSync. This must be set to None when synchronizing through a clock signal.

Reference Clock Sync

When set to true, the force plate system synchronizes by reference to an external clock signal. This must be enabled for the reference clock sync. When two systems syncs using the recording trigger, this must be turned off.

Multiple

Multiplier applied to the camera system frame rate. The resulting rate decides the sampling rate of the force plates.

Rate

Resulting acquisition rate of the force plates

Order

Assigned number of the force plates.

SyncMode

Shows which sync mode (clock sync or triggered sync) of the selected force plate(s).

Name

Force plate name

Model

Model number of the force plate

Serial

Force plate serial number.

Channels

Number of active channels available in the selected device. For force plates, this defaults to 6 with channels responsible for measuring 3-dimensional force and moment data.

State

Indicates the state that the force plate is in.

Scale

Size scale of the resultant force vector shown in the 3D viewport.

Length

Length of the force plate.

Width

Width of the force plate.

ElectricalOriginOffset

Manufacturer defined electrical-to-mechanical offset values.

Corners

Lists out positions of the four force plate corners. Positions are measured with respect to the global coordinate system, and this is calibrated when you Set Position using the CS-400 calibration square.
