+====== Metric Vector Between Events ======
+This command creates a metric vector of a signal(s) value between a start and an end event. The command and it's parameters are found below:
+|**Metric_Vector_Between_Events**                                                                     |                                                                                        |
+|**/Metric_Name=**                                                                                    |The name of the resulting metric signal.                                                |
+|**/Generate_Vector_Length_Metric=**                                                                  |(TRUE or FALSE)Compute the length of the vector (e.g. a scalar).                        |
+|**/Start_Signal_Name=**                                                                              |The name of the signal whose value will be obtained from the Start Event.               |
+|**/Start_Signal_Type=**                                                                              |The type of the Start Signal.                                                           |
+|**/End_Signal_Name=**                                                                                |The name of the signal whose value will be obtained from the End Event.                 |
+|**/End_Signal_Type=**                                                                                |The type of the End Signal.                                                             |
+|**/End_Signal_Folder=**                                                                              |The folder of the End Signal.                                                           |
+|**/[[Visual3D:Documentation:C3D_Signal_Types:EVENT_LABEL_Data_Type#Event_Sequence|Event_Sequence]]=**|A list of events (separated by "+" signs). For example, LHS+RTO                         |
+|**/[[Visual3D:Documentation:C3D_Signal_Types:EVENT_LABEL_Data_Type#Exclude_Events|Exclude_Events]]=**|Exclude Sequences containing these Events.                                              |
+|**/Generate_Mean_And_StdDev=**                                                                       |(True or False)Generate the mean and standard deviation for all of the metrics created  |
+|**/Append to Existing Values=**                                                                      |(True or False)Append this list of metrics to an existing metric of the same result name|

+The command can be edited in the text editor of the pipeline workshop or can be edited from a dialog. The dialog that pops up when pipeline selection is edited by double clicking with the left mouse button. The example below shows the dialog.
+==== Example: Stride Length Vector for Gait ====
+The dialog below contains the values for creating the Stride Length vector on the right side during gait.
+{{:MetricVectorBetweenEventsDlg.png}}
+The command looks like this in the text editor:
+<code>
+Metric_Vector_Between_Events
+/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=StrideVectors
+! /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=PROCESSED
+/GENERATE_VECTOR_LENGTH_METRIC=FALSE
+/START_SIGNAL_TYPE=KINETIC_KINEMATIC
+/START_SIGNAL_NAME=ProxEndPos
+/START_SIGNAL_FOLDER=RFT
+/END_SIGNAL_TYPE=KINETIC_KINEMATIC
+/END_SIGNAL_NAME=ProxEndPos
+/END_SIGNAL_FOLDER=RFT
+/EVENT_SEQUENCE=RHS+RHS
+/EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=TRUE
+/APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES=TRUE
+! /RETAIN_NO_DATA_VALUES=FALSE
+;
+</code>
+**Note:** To get stride length, use the parameter /GENERATE_VECTOR_LENGTH_METRIC=TRUE to create the scalar of the stride vector.
+\\
+==== Example: Stride Length Vector for Throwing ====
+A stride length vector (or scalar) can also be calculated in throwing. Events are created that define the particular phases of the throwing motion. Below is an example of calculating a stride length between **Arm Cock Start** and **Lead Foot Contact**.
+<code>
+Metric_Vector_Between_Events
+/RESULT_METRIC_NAME=Stride Length
+! /RESULT_METRIC_FOLDER=PROCESSED
+/GENERATE_VECTOR_LENGTH_METRIC=TRUE
+/START_SIGNAL_TYPE=KINETIC_KINEMATIC
+/START_SIGNAL_NAME=ProxEndPos
+/START_SIGNAL_FOLDER=RFT
+/END_SIGNAL_TYPE=KINETIC_KINEMATIC
+/END_SIGNAL_NAME=ProxEndPos
+/END_SIGNAL_FOLDER=LFT
+/EVENT_SEQUENCE=ARM COCK START+LEAD FOOT CONTACT
+/EXCLUDE_EVENTS=
+! /GENERATE_MEAN_AND_STDDEV=TRUE
+/APPEND_TO_EXISTING_VALUES=TRUE
+! /RETAIN_NO_DATA_VALUES=FALSE
+;
+</code>
+==== Visual3D Versions supporting Subject Prefixes ====
+NOTE: When using events in a command, the commands will iterate across subjects contained in the current workspace. As such, events and sequences listed as command parameters should NOT contain a prefix. As each subject is processed, the event range/sequence specified will automatically use the specific events prefixed for each subject as they are processed.
