Bertec corporation device

The Bertec device settings are managed via the Bertec Corporation Device settings page. Once the Bertec force plates are set up correctly, the force calculation can be defined under the force plate settings, see chapter Force plate settings.

For information about how to connect and set up Bertec force plates for use with QTM, see chapter Connecting Digital Bertec force plates.

The Bertec page contains the following buttons to communicate with the force plates and a list with settings for the located force plates.

• Restore Default Settings
  Restore settings to their default values.

• Synchronize Settings
  Synchronize changed settings to the Bertec device. Synchronize Settings should be used when changing the Frequency setting.

• Detect Plates
