This page will guide you through the first steps of setting up the Ultium Motion system and recording your first measurements.
Before starting, ensure your PC meets our minimum specification requirements
System unboxing & setup
- Install the MR Software.
- Plug in system and label sensors.
- For more detailed setup images, reference the Ultium Motion Quick Start Guide🔗.
Sensor placement
- Sensors must be placed on rigid body segments and symmetric bilaterally.
- Sensors must be oriented to look upright with the LED facing out and away from the body.
- Place the straps containing sensors directly on the skin for best results.
Calibration
- The recommended calibration process depends on the number of IMU sensors used, the space available, and application. Use either the Walking Calibration or Forward Lean calibration, shown below.
Walking Calibration
- Recommended when a full lower body setup is used (Pelvis, LT/RT Thigh, LT/RT Shank, LT/RT Foot).
- NOTE: Capture Ref Poses at the beginning and end of recordings after calibration to eliminate drift.
Forward Lean Calibration
- Recommended for limited sensor setups or upper body only.
- NOTE: Capture Ref Poses at the beginning and end of recordings after calibration to eliminate drift.
Analysis
Visit our Reporting & Customization 🔗 section for more details on reporting and analysis using data captured with your IMU system.
Adding a Ninox reference camera
If your Ultium Motion system came with a Ninox reference camera, learn more about setting up your Ninox camera and synchronizing it with the Ultium Motion system in our Ninox Quick Start Guide.
