BTS Digivec software
The prohibition symbol indicates that it is not possible to acquire data in the present configuration.
To allow performing the acquisition is required to set the configuration and the calibration of the force
platforms in the laboratory, to align the images acquired by the cameras to the forces acquired in the
laboratory.
Platforms configuration
Select in the tool bar the item “Platforms Manager” and then the item “Platforms” in the drop-down menu:
Now the window “Platform Configuration” will be displayed. This window allows setting the spatial
configuration of the platforms in the laboratory:
Could be acquired using BTS Digivec software and VIXTA video cameras, through a few simple steps.
Connect VIXTA video cameras to the switch for LAN cables connected to the PC.
Run the Digivec program clicking the file “3Digivec.vsb”, or selecting the shortcut on your desktop.
Once run the program, the following window will be displayed, showing the images of the cameras
watching installed in the laboratory:

16
This window allows also to set the number of platforms to use and the configuration data for each of them:
• IP Address;
• Serial Number;
• Group (see paragraph “Groups”);
• Firmware version (default value =2);
Once set all mandatory data, go on with the calibration of the configuration set.
First of all, positon the configuration of the platforms according to their real positioning in the laboratory,
shifting the rectangles in the correspondent positon.
The platform marked with “0” is the platform of reference for the configuration system (one of the corner
represents the origin).
Once defined the position of the platforms, positon the 4 calibration balls (red, green, blue, yellow)
displayed in the configuration window, putting them on the ends of the platforms (it is advisable to cover
the maximum volume, putting the balls on the extreme corners of the external platforms) as shown below:
Push “Save” to save the set configuration and return to the main menu.

17
If data inserted are correct the prohibition symbol will disappear.
Platforms calibration
Select from the tool bar the icon “New Calibration”:
Position the calibration balls on the 3D image as just done on the configuration window. Be careful to
maintain the correspondence of the colors used in the configuration window.
The magenta ball should be positioned vertically aligned on the red ball, at a distance of 60 cm.
To allow an easier positioning of the magenta ball, use the calibration kit with one harm long 60
cm, provided by BTS S.p.A. (the tern should be positioned on the first corner of the platform of
reference).
This will allow the real time update of the correspondence between the virtual platforms (in blue) and the
real platforms in the video image.
The calibration should be repeated for each camera, selectable in the drop-down menu of the calibration
window:
If the balls are not visible, their positon could be reset, using the icon “Reset Calibration” ( ) in the
calibration window.
Once completed the calibration for all cameras, push the icon “Save” ( ).
Data Acquisition
The data acquisition is now allowed.
Push “REC” to start acquiring the video and TDF data of the measured forces;
Push “Stop” to end the acquisition;
Push “Save” to save the acquisition.
The “Play” button allows displaying the video with the forces applied.

For each acquired camera there’s a video and TDF. File containing the data related to the acquired forces.
For further information, refer to BTS Digivec software User Manual.
Groups
Through the configuration window it’s allowed to assign each platform to pre-set groups, platforms could
be assigned to the same group allowing to display the total group acquisition, selecting the option
“Show Group” in the visualization menu “View” in the toolbar.
To select the group, select the option “Manage Platform Group Color” in “Platform Configuration”:
The window “Groups Manager” allows adding, removing or modify pre-set groups. Default groups couldn’t
be deleted, but it is possible to set their color.
Default’s groups are:
• l gr: left foot’s group;
• r gr: right foot’s group;
• No Group: no group is assigned.
If platform are assigned to the same group, it is allowed to display data and forces for the same anatomical
part and to analyse its functionality and performance (i.e.: the left or right leg, for forces measured by two
platform a single force vector will be displayed, representing the result of the two forces).
The assignation to groups is allowed through the “Platform Configuration” windows and while
viewing acquired data.
Data view
From the drop-down menu “View” in the toolbar, it is possible to set all data view option:
• 3D Scheme (default option): displays the 3D acquisition environment;
• Plate visible: to display also the virtual platforms (blue color);
