HAS-Motion Software Documentation

The Manage File Merge command is designed to merge multiple files that recorded data from the same motion capture trial. This command merges data types from each .c3d file into one trial in the Visual3D workspace. This command was originally called Manage_Theia3D_Merge, but since has been updated to be used for file types other than from Theia3D.

This command can be found in the Pipeline Workshop Dialog under Pipeline Control.

Manage_File_Merge can be used to combine motion capture files from the same recording session. A popular use case for this command would be to merge force plate recordings from a QTM file with a Theia3D motion capture file. The analog signals from the QTM .c3d file would be merge into the Theia3D .c3d file.

This command requires data files to be stored in a particular folder structure to match .c3d files appropriately. Please carefully review the Notes section of this page for more details.
