-The **Vector Coding** command can be used to determine inter-segment coordination with the output being an angle from 0-360 degrees known as the coupling angle. All of the math behind **Vector Coding** is done internally with Visual3D, but a brief summary is provided here for user knowledge. This command is based on work from Needham 2015 with more detailed explanations available in the [[https://www.wiki.has-motion.com/doku.php?id=visual3d:documentation:pipeline:signal_commands:vector_coding#references|References]]+The **Vector Coding** command can be used to determine inter-segment coordination with the output being an angle from 0-360 degrees known as the coupling angle.

-The command is based on changes in consecutive segment angles for proximal and distal segments of a given joint. **Equation 1** and **Equation 2** are used to calculate the coupling angle, with the equation used determined by the difference in consecutive angles for the proximal segment. If this result is greater than zero **Equation 1** is used and if the result is less than zero **Equation 2** is used. +The command is based on changes in consecutive angles for proximal and distal segments of a given joint. **Equation 1** and **Equation 2** are used to calculate the coupling angle, with the equation used determined by the difference in consecutive angles for the proximal segment.
