Introduction
In the Settings Panel, you can adjust certain features of MANUS Core.
Overall
UI Scale
The Dashboard uses your Windows scaling settings to determine how large UI elements should be.
If you want to adjust the size of interface elements independent of your Windows scaling, simply use the dropdown menu to select a different UI scale.
Whether you are looking at the Dashboard on a large TV from far away in your mocap space or you’re sitting behind your desk, you can easily see and use the Dashboard.
Render to VR headset
If you want to visualize your gloves or Polygon in VR, make sure that this checkbox is on.
Disable automatic user creation
When you connect a new device, MANUS Core will automatically take you to the first time setup. You can disable this option.
Connection dialog
Hardware
Force firmware update
In case your device got disconnected during firmware update and did not update correctly, you can go through the installation process again if you check this box on.
Automatic Channel Optimization
Each dongle automatically selects the best available wireless channel when you start MANUS Core.
If you want your glove and dongle pairs to always use a specific wireless channel, for example when you're using many wireless devices at the same time, you can disable this automatic channel selection.
Glove
Disable Prime Series IMU Data
The MANUS Prime II & X Series gloves use 2 kinds of sensors: orientation sensors and bend sensors.
When you experience sensor drift, you can decide to disable the orientation sensors. With these settings, you can select to only use the bending sensor data.
3D Hand Orientation
The hand orientation slider allows you to rotate the visualization of the digital hand in the Gloves Hand Viewer.
With this setting you can make the finger articulation more visible when looking at your digital hand.
Tracking
Keep tracker position
This option lets you retain the last known tracker position in the viewport after it loses connection.
Tracker timeout
If this option is on, the trackers that lose connection will disappear from the viewport.
Tracker timeout time
You can set the amount of time that will have to pass before a disconnected tracker disappears from the viewport (in seconds)

Motive trigger

Vicon Shogun port
For Shogun you will need to enable the Triggered Capture functionality inside Shogun.

Then in the Manus Dashboard also enable the Vicon Shogun trigger and set the port to the same number as in Shogun.
