This is important !

Before using this PlugIn, you must first read and understand the licensing agreement which you will find in the file LicenceAgreement.html in the downloaded zip file.

This PlugIn is a product of Vaquita Software - independent from Vicon Motion Systems Limited. This means that the licensing method is different. A software licensing scheme is used instead of the hardware dongle you need for Vicon systems, so the installation procedure is slightly more complicated.

Zip File Installation

Installation can be done easily, directly from the Zip file. Double-click on the Zip file to open WinZip. Click the Extract button, and select your Vicon PlugIns folder as the extraction folder. Make sure "Use Folder Names" is ticked, so that WinZip will make extra folders for you inside your PlugIns folder. Click Extract, and WinZip will put the files in the right places for you.

For details as to what goes exactly where, read the Manual Installation instructions.

Manual Installation

First, find your Vicon PlugIn folder. It's normally c:\Vicon\PlugIns or c:\Program Files\Vicon\PlugIns. If you can't find that, then find the Workstation.ini which will be in the \Vicon\Workstation folder and find the PlugInPath entry under the System heading. DO NOT CHANGE THIS FILE !!! Just make a note of the folder, and close it.

When you've found the folder :-

  1. Copy the VaqEventGenerator.vpi file and the VaqLic.dll file into it (if you already have a copy of VaqLic.dll, keep the newest one).
  2. Create a new folder called EventGenerator inside the PlugIns folder.
  3. Copy all the HTML files, HelpStyles.css and the HelpID.map file into it.

Using the PlugIn

Now you can start Workstation (you'll need to quit Workstation first if it was already running). If there is any problem with the licence installation, you may see a message at this point. If you do, note that this is from the Vaquita PlugIn and will not affect the working of Workstation.

When you open the pipeline, you should see "Generate Events" as one of the optional processes. Please read the Help Files for further information about how the PlugIn works.

Uninstalling

To uninstall, simply delete the VaqEventGenerator.vpi file from the PlugIns folder and delete the EventGenerator folder and all its contents. DO NOT delete VaqLic.dll or your other Vaquita PlugIns will not work !
