Device Statistics Columns
 
 
 

The following are the data columns common to all devices:

Sample(s)

Shows the sample rate (per second) of each device. If the number of samples is zero, then either the sample line is not applicable for the connected device, or the device is not sending data.

Delay

Shows the delay between the time when the device sends the data and when the results are received by MotionBuilder.

Error Count

Gives the number of time-outs and other errors related to device input and output. If you have an error count, check your devices to make sure they are connected properly.

For a successful capture session, the error count must remain at zero.

The Error Count columns in the Device Statistics pane indicate whether the device is initialized and working properly. If the device cannot be found, it sends an initialization error.

Status

Shows the status of the connected device. If an error occurs or a device cannot be found, the appropriate message appears in this column.

The Status column is important when attempting to connect to external hardware devices since it gives feedback on any errors, time-outs, licensing conflicts, and so on.

The messages in the Status are device-specific and are read from the device, not generated by MotionBuilder.

NoteSome devices use the Device Information area in the Device Settings to provide constant feedback. See Device Information for more information.
