 **(3) The Difference in Force Orientation Error:** this is the angle (in degrees) between the applied force reaction vector (i.e., the ground reaction force minus the weight of the calibration-testing rod) and the orientation of the long axis of the rod, as determined from the target data. **(3) The Difference in Force Orientation Error:** this is the angle (in degrees) between the applied force reaction vector (i.e., the ground reaction force minus the weight of the calibration-testing rod) and the orientation of the long axis of the rod, as determined from the target data.

-By creating a jig the user can identify the location of a force plate without having to repeating the entire CalTesterPlus platform protocol each time. In order to use this function you need to have a set of permanent markers (i.e. a template or a jig) which have a consistent position relative to the force platform.\\ \\ - Load the files into Visual3D while the CalTester tab is active.\\ - Click on the Force Platform Locator button {{:V3DCalTesterPlatformLocator.png}} in order to open the Force Platform Locator dialogue box.\\ - Make sure that the Define Jig tab is selected.\\ - In the Select Jig section, click the Add New Jig button.\\ - In the Define Jig Targets section, use the drop down menu at the left of the section to select the targets that are included in the jig and click Add Targets. Do this until all of the targets that are in the jig are listed in the Target list to the right of the section.\\ - In the Force Platform section, select from the FP drop down menu that you wish to locate with the Jig.\\ - In the Define Force Platform Dimension section, check that the FP Length and FP Width are correct. If they are, make sure that the Use Current Dimension radio box is selected. If they are not, select Use New Dimension radio box and change the FP Length and FP Width to the correct values.\\ - In the file list at the bottom of the box, select the C3D files that have both the force plate and the jig. A minimum of 3 C3D files must be used to create the Jig File.\\ - Click on the Calculate Results button in order to produce the CalTester Results window. This window can be exported by using the Export to text button in the bottom left of the screen.\\ \\ A sample of the output that should be created is provided below:\\ \\ +By creating a jig the user can identify the location of a force plate without having to repeating the entire CalTesterPlus platform protocol each time.
