    Purpose of the Study:

    • * To develop and describe a software package for analyzing rapid insect appendage motions.
    • * To enable simultaneous analysis of two appendages with high temporal resolution.

    Main Methods:

    • * Utilized an Apple IIe computer equipped with a Digisector 65 digitizing board.
    • * Developed software for real-time image analysis, performing background correction and stimulus triggering.
    • * Simultaneous analysis of two appendage positions every 20 milliseconds.

    Main Results:

    • * Successfully analyzed rapid appendage motions of small insects from video data.
    • * Achieved high-temporal resolution (20 ms intervals) for kinematic analysis.
    • * Enabled high-resolution data plotting and statistical evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • * The described software package provides an effective tool for detailed biomechanical studies of insect movement.
    • * The system facilitates precise quantification of appendage kinematics, aiding in understanding insect locomotion.
