-=== Toolbar ===+{{:MinimumForceMenu.jpg}}
  
-Toggles on/off the toolbar+Applying a threshold value to the force signals ensures that If the computed force is less than the minimum force, then the FORCE and FREEMOMENT are set to zero, the COFP is set to [[Visual3D:Documentation:C3D_Signal_Types:DATA_NOT_FOUND|DATA_NOT_FOUND]]. This value can also be set using the pipeline command **[[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Force_Commands:Set_Force_Platform_Threshold|Set_Force_Platform_Threshold]]**. This command is listed under the **[[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Force_Commands:Force_Commands_Review|Force]]** category of the pipeline commands. This threshold value is used to remove noise from the force signals. Often for instrumented treadmills this value must be set higher than for overground gait trials.

 +If the name of a segment begins with the letter L, and Biomechanics Conventions are selected, the segment is treated as a left side segment, otherwise the segment is treated as a right side segment.

 If Biomechanics Conventions are not selected, all coordinate system use the right hand rule, and left and right side segments are created equivalently.
