Tracab Import

Overview

Tracab uses Optical Tracking to determine a player's position with cameras. We can import this data into the OpenField Console using the Data Importer Tile.

Setup

Ensure that all athletes are set up with the Jersey number they are wearing for that game. This will automatically map the files to the correct athlete.

Batch File

1. Add this batch file to your computer. It should have a batch file and powershell file in it. 
   
   
   
2. Extract the file in the location that you would like to use (e.g. the desktop).
3. Enter your team name and API token provided by Tracab.
   
4. Enter the number of the game that you want to download the file for.
   
5. When the batch file finishes loading it will show the message "Finished Successfully" and you can hit enter to exit.
   
6. This should create a folder called tracab_output. This folder will store all the game files that you import in the future.
   
   
   
7. The game folder will have 3 files in it, a data file, an XML file, and a zip file. The Zip file will be imported into the OpenField Console.
