Synchronization Workflow
The steps described below show how to make it possible for Xsens Awinda or Sync Station
to send a signal (Awinda / Sync Station is Sync OUT and Noraxon is Sync IN) and how to
receive the synchronization signal (Noraxon is Sync OUT, Xsens Awinda / Sync Station is
Sync IN).
1.
Perform the calibration and get both systems fully set.
2.
Set the specifications for synchronization in both systems and connect sync cable(s)
3.
Start the recording on the slave software. The slave software will wait for a trigger
from the Master software to start recording.
4.
Start the recording on the Master software. Then, both systems will start recording
at the same time.
5.
Stop recording on the master software. Then both systems will stop recording at
the same time.
Depending on the type of synchronization performed different specifications are required
for both systems. A detailed explanation of the different characteristics according to the
desired synchronization are described below.
This document is written to synchronize the XSens Awinda system. However, most of the
steps performed in the MVN software are the same for the MVN Link system. You can see
the differences i
n the setup of the system in the last chapter of this document “Using MVN
Link to synchronize”.
