Set devices

To define motion capture devices

1. Start the device server.
2. For data-server devices, use the defineDataServer command to define the device in Maya.
3. Enter the following command in Maya’s Script Editor:

defineDataServer -device <deviceName> -server <serverName>; 

Where:

• <deviceName> is a unique device name. Choose one that will be easy for you to remember later.
• <serverName> is the name of the communication interface defined to talk to the server, as defined in the server setup.

For example, if you started the clock device but it did not appear in the Device Editor, you would enter:

defineDataServer -device clock -s mayaClockServer 

To undefine a device

Use the following syntax:

defineDataServer -device <deviceName> -undefine;
