1. Plug the WLAN router (3) into a nearby socket. WLAN of the router corresponds to the serial number of the disc (GP-MS4-20xx-xx)
2. Establish WLAN connection between router and PC (Password: 12345678)
3. Switch on MultiSens platform (1)
4. On the start page of the GP Manager, click the customer button Select and create new customer or search for existing customer
5. With the arrow  Take over the customer and return to the start page
6. Open GP foot pressure module
7. The hardware GP MultiSens select
8. Click on "Measurement" to start the measurement

 

8. First walk over the platform with your left foot, then with your right foot
9. The measurement is automatically saved and can then be analysed.

You have the option of exporting the measurement you are currently viewing. The corresponding buttons can be found at the bottom right, or in older versions of the GP Manager under the cogwheel symbol.

The following export formats are available: Softcopy, DV Scan, JPG, PedCAD and ASCII. Select the desired file format from the drop-down menu and then click on "Export". Once you have selected the desired storage location, the corresponding file is exported.

Note: The entire customer is not exported. Use the "GP GPF" module for data backup or similar.

To import a PedCAD file, click on "Import" and select the desired file from the corresponding storage location.

When the comparison is activated (see 3.3.6 Comparison), the "Basic analysis" and "Professional analysis" boxes become active. These provide a comparison of the measurement data for the two measurements shown. After clicking on one of the two options, a table appears at the bottom of the screen in which various measurement data are compared with each other.

The basic analysis is divided into rearfoot and forefoot. The maximum pressure and impulse parameters are listed next to each other and the percentage deviations of the compared measurements are calculated.

The professional analysis is divided into all foot zones (standard - 6 zones). The parameters Maximum pressure, Average pressure, Loaded area, Impulse, Force and Force rate are listed next to each other and the percentage deviations of the compared measurements are calculated. If the analysis is activated, the table also appears on the printout.

The "Maximum values" checkbox displays the maximum value for each foot zone (see Figure 14). This display is also active when an old measurement is called up.

It is possible to edit the zones manually. This function is only possible if "Axis" is not ticked. All changes made on one foot side are automatically transferred to the other foot side. Operation is carried out by holding down the Ctrl key. There are several options:

1. Change an existing zone
   • click on the zone to be changed while holding down the Ctrl key and change the size of the zone at the corner or side points with the mouse, or change the position of the zone while holding down the mouse button in the zone
     

     Figure 15: Edit zone

   • double-click in the zone while holding down the Ctrl key to open a new window (see Figure 15). Here you can change the name, the colour by moving the sliders and the size and position of the zone by entering the coordinates, whereby the numbers indicate the position of the zone as a percentage (e.g.: Top-0, Bottom-100, Left-0 and Right-100 encloses the entire foot).
2. Define a new zone
   • A window can be opened by holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys. This is then a new zone and can now be edited in the same way as under 1.) "Change existing zone".

If a change has been made under 1.) or 2.), the option "Save zones" appears (see Figure 16). The changed zone arrangement can be overwritten there or a new zone can be created.

By clicking on "Zone definition", you can select from the list of zones that have already been created (see Figure 17). The selected zoning is displayed graphically and it is possible to delete a previously defined zoning.
