LIBERTY, our finest tracking system, tracks at an unprecedented speed of 240 Hz per sensor, incorporates distortion sensing, is scalable for multiple sensors, while PATRIOT tracks at 60 Hz per sensor yet measures in at only 6.75 inches L x 6.25 inches W x 1.75 inches H.
LABVIEW LINUX DRIVER
The LabVIEW driver will be available for download at both the LabVIEW and Linux files can be found at These additional attributes make LIBERTY and PATRIOT the most preferred motion tracking systems in the industry. This will allow users to now control extensive data collection, analysis and presentations through LabVIEW. Polhemus' instrumentation solution is an extensive set of LabVIEW VIs (Virtual Instruments) which parallel the most-commonly-used functions and all standard LIBERTY and PATRIOT commands and syntax. Polhemus has recognized the high demand for LabVIEW compatibility, and therefore has provided an instrument driver for its LIBERTY and PATRIOT motion tracking systems. The ease-of-use, ability to connect high performance peripherals, and the bandwidth that USB offers in combination with Linux make LIBERTY and PATRIOT the most universal motion tracking systems available.
LABVIEW LINUX FULL
By utilizing programs that come with the standard Linux distribution and modifying a few files, a user will have full USB communications with the Liberty. Developed by a third party and released as open source, the USB connection utilizes a firmware loader and the Linux USB kernel module that communicates with the Liberty. Polhemus now provides Linux users with the ability to operate Polhemus LIBERTY and PATRIOT systems with full compatibility using a USB connection.
LabVIEW is a graphical programming language with built-in functionality for data acquisition instrument control, measurement analysis, and data presentation. Linux is a freely distributed operating system, used for home and office with a variety of application formats.
LABVIEW LINUX SERIAL
Linux® and LabVIEW Now Available for Polhemus Tracking SystemsĬOLCHESTER, VT, (February 12, 2004)-Polhemus, the industry leader in 6 Degree-of-Freedom (6DOF) motion capture, motion tracking and digitizing technologies is proud to announce a Linux Universal Serial Bus (USB) solution and the National Instruments LabVIEW drivers for Polhemus LIBERTY and PATRIOT motion tracking systems.
LABVIEW LINUX WINDOWS
O* = no driver installation required under latest Windows and Linux OS This makes it possible to remove devices while a VCI application is running. The VCI supports a plug & play notification system by which the insertion and the removal of CAN interfaces are automatically detected and processed. Also available are incrementing functions which can alter the transmit data.
In addition to the standard transmit method, intelligent cards (cards with their own microcontroller system) support extended transmit functions such as the transmission of messages with a time delay, which controls the message flow via a transmit inhibit time, or cyclic on-board transmission, by which high bus loads and exact cycle times of messages can be generated. The CAN messages are read from the receive FIFO with status and time stamp of the time of reception. In addition, specific message filtering can be carried out for each CAN controller. The receive FIFO of a message channel supports the access methods "event-controlled" and "polling" where a FIFO fill level mark can be defined to trigger an event. If message channels are created cooperatively for a certain CAN controller, the data of that CAN controller is distributed equally to the various message channels. Message channels can be created exclusively or cooperatively. A message channel consists of one transmit and one receive FIFO. Communication with the CAN interface card occurs via message channels.
