C3Dserver Features
The C3D file format is a public domain format supported by most motion capture and gait lab equipment manufacturers. Data stored in a C3D file can be exchanged and accessed by many different laboratories and applications using the C3Dserver.
- The C3Dserver is easy to use - almost anyone can quickly write programs that manipulate C3D data stored in any manufacturers C3D file using Visual Basic, C++, Java or Access, Excel and Word macros.
- The C3Dserver includes MATLAB support allowing direct access to all C3Dserver functions within MATLAB allowing full read, write, create and delete functionality for any C3D file.
- A free, fully functional, evaluation version of the C3Dserver allows anyone to access their data at no cost while inexpensive licenses for individual and professional use allow users to distribute and develop commercial applications.
- The C3Dserver is flexible and transparently supports all C3D formats - DEC, SGI and Intel byte orders, in both INTEGER and REAL formats. C3D file formats are automatically preserved for failsafe applications.
- The C3Dserver installation includes full source code for sample applications in C++, Visual Basic™ and Excel™ together with a manual and a basic C3D file editor, written using the C3Dserver - an essential tool for C3D developers.
- The C3Dserver conforms to the published C3D specification and format description. This allows anyone to access C3D data files without requiring any manufacturer specific information.
In addition to basic 3D and analog data access, the C3Dserver includes the ability to calculate Forces and Moment information from any force platform as well as offering several methods of automatically removing DC offsets from analog channels.
Software Licence
The C3Dserver, like all Motion Lab Systems applications, is a site licensed application. The purchase of a single C3Dserver license allows multiple copies of the software to be used within any given environment, permitting its use on multiple computers, laptops etc., making it very easy to use in academic and research environments without any hardware access keys or restrictive licensing requirements.
