Raw Force- and Moment Data


You can download some of data files by clicking once at the corresponding file name. The file names are coded in Mission Elapsed Times. The files are binary data files created by Matlab. If you wish to plot the data, start Matlab, and at the command prompt type: plot(Fx) . This will plot Fx. You do the same for Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz. Also, the variable description in the matlab file has a short description of the crew motion that was registered on the particular sensor. The "f","h" and "p" characters in the filename stand for the corresponding sensor (i.e, h=hand-hold, p=touch-pad, f=foot-restraint).
