Data management with Nexus

The Data Management tab of the Communications window provides functionality for storing and managing all data associated with your motion capture files. Data is organized in a hierarchical structure, with data and information stored in relevant nodes.

For a video guide to database management, see the Vicon video, proEclipse: Preparing and managing your database, which is available on YouTube.

The default location of Data Management is on a tab at the bottom of the Communications window. If you prefer, you can click the buttons at the top right of the Communications window to un-dock it and display it full-screen. To toggle the display of the Data Management tab, press F2.

Tip
You can also choose to hide the entire Communications pane, in which the Data Management tab appears, when you load a trial. To do this, on the Window menu, select the Close Communications Pane on Trial Load option. Alternatively, to temporarily hide/reveal the Communications pane, double-click any of its tabs.

By default, the last opened database is loaded when you restart Nexus.
