Layout wizard
The layout wizard makes it easy to quickly switch between layouts, or to make a custom screen
layout. Simply select one of the predefined layouts from the list and press the
Finish
button.
The relevant layouts for ProMove-mini are:
•
9D
: Plots of the accelerometer, compass and gyroscope sensors for all three axes.
•
9D+
: Plots of the accelerometer, compass, gyroscope and high-g accelerometer sensors
for all three axes, and plots for the pressure, battery, temperature and RSSI measure-
ments.
•
Empty Screen
: No plots are shown.
•
Custom Layout
: The number of plots, the type of sensor data and the location on the
main screen can be chosen by the user.
Figure 36 shows the layout wizard set for
Custom Layout
. The number of visible rows and
columns can be changed via the up and down buttons. Each plot type can be changed by press-
ing the corresponding
Change
button. The
Plot Selection
window appears, allowing the selec-
tion of a different plot type. When the
Only show available sensors
selection box is checked,
the window shows only the available sensor types of the connected nodes. Otherwise, the
window shows all the available plot types.
Processed data can also be shown in the plots. Available options include the following:
•
Norm
: The normalized value of the axes of a sensor (i.e.
√
x
2
+
y
2
+
z
2
).
•
Orientation
: The orientation of the node, in terms of Euler angles (i.e.
roll
,
pitch
and
yaw
, including FFT values) or quaternions.
•
FFT
: The Fast Fourier Transform, which can be applied to raw sensor signals or processed
data (see Section 4.11 for changing the FFT settings).
