Read OpenSim Motion File (.mot)

Source: R/io-opensim.R
readMOT.Rd

Reads an OpenSim motion file containing joint angles, kinematics, or other time-series data. MOT files use a tab-separated format with a header block ending in "endheader".

Usage

readMOT(path)

Arguments

path

Character string giving the path to the .mot file.

Value

A PhysioExperiment object with the data stored in the "raw" assay. The first column (time) is used to compute the sampling rate. Header metadata such as inDegrees is stored in metadata().
