4.6 zebris SYNC The zebris SYNC is the standard solution for synchronization of the Canid Gait system with third party measuring devices. The SYNC-IN and SYNC-OUT sockets provide input and output for support of „sample by sample“ In- and Out synchronization. Both sockets provide galvanic protection between third party systems and Canid Gait sensor.
If a third party device is connected to the synchronization output SYNC-OUT then depending on the setting of the configuration window of the application software, a CANID GAIT system con- trolled, will trigger a synchronized measurement of the third party device either via start/ stop or “sample by sample”...

5 Video-Module 5.1 Conection to the Canid Gait System The Canid Gait system can capture data simultaneously with up to 2 video cameras. For this purpose the zebris SYNCCam is available as an accessory. Alternatively high-quality DV-camcorders with an external microphone socket can be used for video capture.
5.2 SYNCCam The SYNCCam is an accessory of the Canid Gait system and perfectly adapted to be used in combination with the pressure distribution measurement. All adjustments of the camera are carried out via hardware setup integrated to the Animal Analysis Suite Software. The camera is connected to the PC by a USB cable of type A-B included within the shipment.
This solution is perfectly matched on the interaction with the Canid Gait system and can be regulated infinitely in its brightness. The integrated synchronization unit automatically switches the lights on at the start of a measurement and turns them off again after stopping it.

6 Setup and Operation of the Canid Gait System 6.1 Positioning of the measuring system For setup, installation and safety related instructions of the treadmill please refer to the user manual of the treadmill manufacturer. NOTE A safety zone of at least 2 m in length and 1 m in width must be kept free directly behind the treadmill.
For the commissioning of the Canid Gait system for the stance and gait analysis, the asso- ciated power supply, a USB cable type A-B as well as the installation CD with the Animal Analysis Suite application software are necessary. All components are included in the scope of delivery of the Canid Gait measuring system.
For connecting the treadmill to the power supply, please additionally observe the respective instructions in the user manual provided by the treadmill manufacturer. The connection of the treadmill and the Canid Gait power supply unit must be done at a separate wall socket. It is not permissible to use extension cables and/or multiple sockets.
6.3 Computer Requirements If the Canid Gait system is not delivered with a computer that includes pre-installed Animal Analysis Suite software, the user must then inquire whether the intended coupling guaran- tees the necessary safety for the test person, the operator and the surroundings by consult- ing the manufacturer, the authorized zebris sales partner or by asking a specialist.
In order to set the system out of operation, please close the Animal Analysis Suite software first, then exit the Windows operating system and shut down the PC. In the next step dis- connect the power supply unit of the Canid Gait sensor and the treadmill from mains supply. zebris Medical GmbH...
In order to keep the friction between the running belt and the Canid Gait sensor as low as possible, the system must be lubricated at regular intervals with silicone oil. zebris recommends lubricating at least every 6 months.
In case the running belt has been exposed to hard knocks or heavy items have fallen onto it, the surface of the Canid Gait sensor has to be checked for damaging (cracks, dents, and scratches on the surface). If visible damages are detected, no further measurements must be carried out.
NOTE Device type + serial no. of the Canid Gait sensor and treadmill The serial no. can be found on the type plates on the frame of the treadmill or on the back of the interface box.
