Measurement Data Base Description

The measurement data base description contains a description of a hierarchically folder structure for saving measurement data. E.g you have a folder for all measurement data of a project and subfolders for each subject with subfolders for each session and so on.

Typically a session is the last subfolder. A Session is a set of measurement trials. For each measurement trial a set of files with the same name but different extentions are saved.
 
The data base folder description contains information about the folder hierarchie, the file format and the naming of the trials. For Vicon users: A subset of this information is the equivalent to the Vicon database definition saved in the Vicons .eni files.
