Configuring The Motion Perfect 2 Desktop
Trio Motion Technology
Setting the Default Port
You can change the order in which the ports are scanned by the program by
selecting the port in the list and using the up/down arrows to move the items as
required.
Packet Based Communications
Motion Perfect 2 features an enhanced communications protocol which uses a
packet based structure with error checking to significantly improve the reliability
of the serial port communications. Packet communications can be used over any
type of communications link but as some of these (USB, ethernet) use packetised
communications as part of their own protocol, adding an extra level of packetisa-
tion may make communications less efficient without giving any reliability
improvement.
In order to use the Packet Comms mode you must have system software 1.49 or
higher.
Controller message timeout
Certain controller operations may cause the controller to stop communicating for
a few seconds. If you find that your PC seems to disconnect often, you can
change Motion Perfect 2's default timeout value to allow the program to wait for
a longer time before disconnecting.
