7.2 Configure an MVN System
When the user has clicked “Add Configuration” and selected “MVN System” the following configuration
window will appear. The image below shows the expanded and views and details how to modify the
settings. Note that the Sync Settings dialogue is available only with an MVN BIOMECH license.
Expanded view
Collapsed view
7.2.1 Enable/disable search for new system
As described above, click the button on the top left corner from OFF (red) to ON (green). While
the default settings are enough to proceed with a single suit, additional changes can be made.
7.2.2 System Status
The system status appears in the top row as an icon, so that in both the expanded and collapsed
views it is possible to identify the status of a given item. In accordance with traffic-light indicators, green
indicates that everything is in order, while red indicates that there is a problem to be addressed. In the
expanded view, the text accompanying the colored icon specifies the problem and clicking the spanner
opens the hardware status window for detailed trouble shooting.
7.2.3 Apply Changes
Grey: no applied changes
Red: unapplied changes
Changes can be applied by clicking on the grey icon or by clicking on the ‘apply’ button which will also
close the dialog.
7.2.4 Configured Item
This simply gives the name of the item being configured, e.g. an MVN System, Video Camera, Define
X-Axis and Sync Station. This is read-only text.
7.2.5 Suit Color
Particularly useful when measuring multiple systems, it is possible to change the color of the suit, by
clicking the colored square next to the configuration name. The system configured in the example
session dialogue above is orange. It is replicated as read-only color on the left-hand bar, to facilitate
easy identification, also in the collapsed view.
7.2.6 System Name
It is advised to change the name of the system from “My MVN System” to a more personalized name,
for example the name or ID of the person wearing the system. (It can also be deleted if not needed.)
