Guides for setup, assay configuration, analysis, and result interpretation.
Start with the shared workflow or jump directly to an assay guide.One reference for the complete analysis workflow
Move from a controlled recording to assay-specific, reviewable results without losing sight of the configuration and quality context.
- Video preparation
- Assay selection
- Geometry setup
- Configuration
- Analysis workflow
- Metric interpretation
- Quality review
From video to reviewable results
The shared path stays compact; geometry, settings and outputs remain specific to the selected assay.
- 01
Upload experiment video
Use a supported overhead recording and preserve the original research file independently.
- 02
Select the behavioral assay
Choose the workflow that matches the apparatus and research protocol.
- 03
Define assay geometry
Fit the arena, maze regions or objects required by the selected application.
- 04
Configure and analyze
Set the analysis interval and assay-specific options, then review the setup.
- 05
Review results
Inspect measurements, trajectory and quality information together.
Choose an assay guide
Setup requirements, analysis behavior, outputs, and interpretation for each supported workflow.
