Track Visualization Shows Only Last 10 Seconds of Movement Instead of Full Trial
Last updated: Nov 01, 2026
Problem
The trajectory or track display in EthoVision XT does not show the complete movement path for a trial — only the last 10 seconds of the track are visible.
Details
This is caused by a display option in the Track visualization settings that limits the visible portion of the track to the most recent 10 seconds. It does not affect the underlying tracking data, only the visual representation. Affects trajectory map views in EthoVision XT.
Solution
1. Open the track or trajectory map view for the affected trial.
2. Locate the track display options or visualization settings panel.
3. Find the option labeled 'Last 10 seconds' (or similar) and uncheck/disable it.
4. The full track from the beginning of the trial should now be displayed.
5. If you want to export the full trajectory image, ensure this option remains unchecked before exporting.
