Bertec MATLAB GRF Visualizer

Real-time MATLAB visualization of the ground reaction force vector from a Bertec force plate using the Bertec Device SDK for .NET.

Files

• test_bertec_read_forces.m
  Connects to the Bertec force plate and prints Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz.

• main_bertec_grf_visualizer.m
  Visualizes the real-time ground reaction force vector and estimated center of pressure.

Requirements

• MATLAB on Windows, 64-bit
• Bertec Device SDK for .NET
• Working Bertec force plate connection
• Bertec SDK files installed locally

Important

This repository does not include the Bertec SDK, DLLs, documentation, or example source files.
Users must obtain the SDK directly from Bertec and update the sdkFolder path in the MATLAB scripts.

Usage

1. Install the Bertec Device SDK.
2. Confirm the force plate works in Bertec software.
3. Open the MATLAB scripts.
4. Edit:

sdkFolder = 'C:\Path\To\Bertec_Device_SDK_March_2026';
