readTake([angle=string], [device=string], [frequency=float], [linear=string], [noTime=boolean], [take=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
readTake is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
This action reads a take (.mov) file to a defined device.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
angle(a)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the angular unit used in the take. Valid strings are
"deg", "degree", "rad", and "radian".
C: The default is the current user angular unit.
|
|
device(d)
|
string
|
|
|
Specifies the device into which the take data is read. This is a
required argument.
|
|
frequency(f)
|
float
|
|
|
The timestamp is ignored and the specified frequency is used. If
timeStamp data is not in the .mov file, the -noTimestamp flag
should also be used. This flag resample, instead
the data is assumed to be at the specified frequency.
C: If the take file does not use time stamps, the default frequency
is 60Hz.
|
|
linear(l)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the linear unit used in the take. Valid strings are
"mm", "millimeter", "cm", "centimeter", "m", "meter", "km",
"kilometer", "in", "inch", "ft", "foot", "yd", "yard", "mi",
and "mile".
C: The default is the current user linear unit.
|
|
noTime(nt)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Specifies if the take (.mov) file contains time stamps.
C: The default is to assume time stamps are part of the take file.
|
|
take(t)
|
string
|
|
|
Reads the specified take file. It is safest to pass the full
path to the flag.
