Configuring Acceleration & Deceleration Bands

Vector Core only has two parameters that are available both live and post-activity.  These are:

• Accelerations = The sum of Band 6-8 efforts
• Decelerations = The sum of Band 1-3 efforts

Walkthrough

Updating the Acceleration Band Threshold

1. Log into the OpenField Cloud and select the Settings page.
   
2. Click the Bands tab from the Settings menu.
   
3. In the Filter Athletes search bar select athletes by typing in either a Position, Team or an Athlete name.
   
4. Select Gen2Acceleration in Global Bands.
   
   In order to increase/decrease the threshold for the rate of acceleration:

• • If updating to any value less than 3 m/s/s - simply update the acceleration Band 5
  • If updating to a value between 3 and 4 m/s/s - update acceleration Band 5 and Band 6
  • If updating to any value greater than 4 m/s/s - update acceleration Band 5, Band 6 and Band 7

Ensure there are no bands highlighted in red before hitting Apply To Selected Athletes.  If a band is highlighted as red this means one of the bands is set lower than the previous band and will need to be updated.

Updating the Deceleration Band Threshold

1. In OpenField Cloud select the Settings page.
   
2. Click the Bands tab from the Settings menu.
   
3. In the Filter Athletes search bar select athletes by typing in either a Position, Team or an Athlete name.
   
4. Select Gen2Acceleration in Global Bands.
   
   Note: Decelerations are shown as negative acceleration so if for example you want to set a deceleration of 1 m/s/s you would need to enter a value of -1.
   
   In order to increase/decrease the threshold for the rate of deceleration:

• • If updating to any value less than 3 m/s/s - simply update the acceleration Band 4
  • If updating to a value between 3 and 4 m/s/s - update acceleration Band 4 and Band 3
  • If updating to any value greater than 4 m/s/s - update acceleration Band 4, Band 3 and Band 2

Ensure there are no bands highlighted in red before hitting Apply To Selected Athletes.  If a band is highlighted as red this means one of the bands is set lower than the previous band and will need to be updated.
