PSN Toolbox is a software to easily monitor,
send and convert PSN Trackers
It’s the swiss army tool of PSN protocol
The Monitor page
The monitor show all available PSN Servers on the selected network.
You can convert angles to radian or degree depding of what the server is sending
Easily see if you lost trackers
Choose your network interface and customize your port and multicast address
The send page
This page allow you to emulate PSN Tracker
For testing or offline work
Control what type of data you want to send: position, orientation, speed, acceleration and target position
Choose between radian or degree unit for rotation output
Even control the tracker with Art-Net to pre-program your show
You can find the fixture Library below:
- MA 2 Library and on MA Fixture Share
- GDTF Library and on GDTF Share
- DMX Personality
Set you limits and default values for each axes
Customise your server name and frame rate, choose on which interface you need to output, and also the port and multicast address
The convert page
Application exemple
Trackers conversions allow you to simply send the trackers to different applications
The convert page display the state of converted trackers and combined trackers
Converted trackers
With a converted tracker you can:
- Convert the roation unit of a tracker to degree or radian, the standard is radian but some systems use degres
- Swap axes, because some systems use Y for Up and others uses Z
- Add offset to the values, usefull if sytems origins are differents
- Invert received values
- Use a constant value on axes
Combined trackers
With a combined tracker you can specify two input trackers and a distance between them, the combined tracker will be at the center of them and calculate an aproximate angle*
It’s is useful for structures hanged with two points if the motion system who sending PSN only send height of hoists
*
⚠
The calculated angle is an approximation of the reality, the real angle depend of various data like weight and gravity point that make the calculation very complex, it’s a known limitation of the function and it’s provided as it is.
Other features
Few settings are available in the application:
- Startup project and notifications
- Tracker timeout for the monitor
- Default values for new tracker created in the sender page
When minimized, the app hide in the tray and still running in background
Need a second window for the monitor page?
No problem, just open the app a second time!
