Installation of the processing engine

The biomechanics calculations are performed by Visual3D. Visual3D is not part of the installer and must be installed separately.

Theia3D must be also installed separately, if you want to use markerless setup. Note that Visual3D is still required when using Theia3D to obtain raw kinematics data.

CGM2 session type is processed by QCGM2 engine. For details about CGM2, please refer to https://pycgm2.netlify.app/.

Folder setup

It is necessary to specify path to several external programs after the first installation of the module.

Python

  1. Not required unless using open source CGM2 (pyCGM2). With open source version of CGM2 it is possible to run the pyCGM2 code directly. This would be useful for customers who want to modify functionality of QCGM2.

  2. Please refer to https://pycgm2.netlify.app/api/ for installation instructions.

  3. Optionally you can use open source project from Qualisys GitHub (https://github.com/qualisys/qualisys_CGM2_workflow/).

QCGM2

  1. Required for CGM2 session only. You cal leave it empty if not planning to use CGM2 session.

  2. In QTM, go to Project Options > Miscellaneous > Folder Options and set the path for QCGM2 to C:\Program Files\Qualisys\QCGM2\QCGM2.exe.

    Note: QCGM2 is based on an open source project pyCGM2 (see https://pycgm2.netlify.app/). For the convenience we use compiled version of the project in PAF module.

Theia3D

  1. Required for markerless session only. You can leave it empty if using only nmarkerbased sessions.

  2. If you want to use markerless session, follow the steps from the Theia Markerless Documentation to install and activate Theia3D.
  3. In QTM, go to Project Options > Miscellaneous > Folder Options and set the path for Theia3D to C:\Program Files\Theia\Theia3D\Theia3D.exe.

Visual3D

  1. Always required, except CGM2 session.

  2. Follow the steps from the C-Motion Wiki to install and activate Visual3D.
  3. In QTM, go to Project Options > Miscellaneous > Folder Options and set the path for Visual3D to C:\Program Files\Visual3D\Visual3D.exe.

Word Report Generator

  1. It is required for Word report only. You can leave it empty if not generating Word reports.

  2. It is installed automatically by module installer and is used to populate Word report with data. In QTM, go to Project Options > Miscellaneous > Folder Options and set the path to C:\Program Files\Qualisys\ReportGenerator\ReportGenerator.exe.
