  1. Launch RemoteDataServer
  2. Launch FlyOver version of your choosing.
  3. Click the Initialize button in the "Setup" tab [You should see your VR display turn black now]
  4. In the top left corner of the GUI window chose File->Open->[browse to your chosen .dae scene file]
  5. Then choose File -> Open -> Settings from XML to load configurations that were previously saved to file.
  6. Go through tabs and manually configure various parameters not automatically set by the XML settings file.
    1. In the “Setup” tab:
      • Set “Camera” from 1 to 2. Then, under “Warping*” select then deselect the “Enable” checkbox. 
      • Select “Enable Timed Trial” and set length to time of your choosing.
      • If running a 1D condition, select the “Yaw Only” box.
    2. In the “Configuration” tab:
      • On the right side adjust parameters that control how the virtual scene is displayed. Note that these vary with the geometry of the display on which the image generated by FlyOver is projected.

          • Set “Field of View” to 176.
          • Under “Frame Indicator”, set “Size” to 30, “Screen” to 1, and the horizontal slider bar from 1200 to 0.
          • Note that changing some of these parameters may not change what is displayed on the screen right away, but only after a "refresh" is triggered by e.g. enabling frame packing (see point c).
        • On the left side you can adjust the file export options:
          • Under “Output”, select “File Export?” and “Treadmill output”.  Then set “Style” to “Time Stamp”.
          • Then, next to “File Name” click on the “…” button to chose name and directory where the raw data file will be saved.
      1. In the “Display” tab, select Enable Frame Packing. Note that toggling this button can lead to FlyOver crashing.
    1. Go back to the “Setup” tab and click the Connect button to start the trial.
