Components of the Force Plates System

The system has a number of components:

• AMTI Force Plates
• Amplifiers
• A/D Interface Unit (ADIU)
• Event and Video Control Unit (E&VCU) (for use with Peak Video/Optical Motion Capture System)
• Data Acquisition Computer with A/D converter card.

The Data Acquisition Computer, A/D Interface Unit and two Event and Video Control Units are located on a black moveable trolley, as shown in Figure 1. The two amplifiers are located on a second moveable trolley as shown in Fig 2.
