# Analysis results and scoring pane

Show/hide the Analysis Results and Scoring pane

Click the Show/Hide button on the toolbar and select Analysis Results and Scoring.

important You can reduce processor load, for example when tracking from many arenas, by closing the Analysis Results and Scoring pane. To do so, from the Show/Hide menu deselect Analysis Results and Scoring.

Trial Status tab

Shows information about the current Trial (to be acquired or being acquired). If no trials are planned, the Trial column says No Trial planned.

▪Fill color (only visible when tracking multiple subjects per arena). Shows the color associated with each subject. You can assign a new color in the Subject identification settings.

▪Trial start. Shows the time the current trial has started. If the current trial has not started yet, Trial start shows '00:00:00'.

▪Acquisition start. Shows the time that tracking has started. If the current trial has not started yet, Acquisition start shows '00:00:00'.

If you track from video files, Trial start is the time that the video was recorded. Acquisition start is the Trial Start + the video time elapsed at the start of data recording.

▪Time acquiring. The time elapsed since the start of data recording for a subject in a specific arena. Time acquiring can differ per arena because Trial Control is applied in each arena independently.

The real time information is only available after you start the trial and until you stop it.

▪Missed samples. The percentage and the number (in parentheses) of samples missed up to the current sample.

▪Interpolated samples. The percentage and number (in parentheses) of missing samples that were interpolated.

This statistic is only available when in the Detection Settings under Smoothing the option Missing sample interpolation is On. See Dropped frames correction in Advanced detection settings: Smoothing

▪Subject not found. The percentage and the number (in parentheses) of samples in which the subject was not found up to the current sample.

To adjust the warning color thresholds

When the values under Missed samples, Interpolated samples and Subject not found exceed a specific threshold, they are shown in red. This helps you monitoring the quality of tracking during acquisition.

To change a threshold, click the button under one of the headers.

Detection statistics after acquiring data

After acquisition you can view the proportion of missed samples and samples in which the subject was not found in different parts of the software.

▪In the Trial list, click Show/Hide on the toolbar and select Variables and select Missed samples and/or Subject not found.

▪In the Statistics and Charts screen, click Show/Hide on the toolbar and select Independent Variables and select Missed samples and/or Subject not found.

▪In the Track Visualization or in the Heatmaps screen, click Show/Hide on the toolbar and select Layout. Under Available, drag Missed samples and/or Subject not found to the On Columns or On Rows box.

Independent Variables tab

The Independent Variables tab is a simplified version of the Trial List. It shows the user-defined independent variables and the Acquisition status for the acquired trials and the planned trials.

Row colors

▪Before acquisition, the current trial (about to be acquired) is highlighted in green. Acquisition status says Ready to start.

▪During acquisition, the current trial is highlighted in red. Acquisition status says Acquiring.

Dependent Variables tab

In the Dependent Variables tab you can view any dependent variable in real time during acquisition, for each subject and arena. By default, it shows the following variables: Velocity and Movement.

To view more variables during a trial, see Choose a variable to view real-time.

important Adding variables may reduce performance and increase missing samples. Select only the variables and its properties you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in monitoring the Immobile state during a Porsolt swim test, add the Mobility state variable, then select Immobile and deselect the other two states under Calculate for state in the Mobility State properties window.
