Preparing Qualisys data for OpenSim processing

1. In QTM, in Project Options > Processing > MATLAB File Export: activate "3D Data" export
2. In QTM, set Project Options > Miscellaneous > Folder Options for "Matlab" to C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a\bin\matlab.exe (adapt if a different version of Matlab is used)
3. In the PAF pane, click on Start Processing. It will open Matlab and run Templates/example.m which will create the output.xml file

Resources for using the Qualisys Project Automation Framework (PAF)

The purpose of the Project Automation Framework (PAF) is to streamline the motion capture process from data collection to the final report. This repository contains an example project that illustrate how PAF can be used to implement custom automated data collection in Qualisys Track Manager (QTM), and how QTM can be connected to a processing engine.

PAF Documentation

The full documentation for PAF development is available here: PAF Documentation.
