How to use the Foresight GC2 & HMT Launch Monitor with Swing Catalyst

Swing Catalyst integrates both with the GC2 and the HMT. You can also just use the GC2 on itself with Swing Catalyst. GCQuad integration is not yet in place. 

In order to use the Foresight GC2 with the Foresight Simulator, you need to select Foresight Simulator in the menu and start the simulator first.

Note: In order to use the Foresight launch monitor with Swing Catalyst you will need to have a camera that supports streaming video. (See Supported Cameras).

 

Foresight GC2 Launch Monitor USB:

1. Follow the Foresight GC2 installation guide, and install the GC2 USB Drivers. Make sure you select the correct version depending on your Windows version. Make sure you have the latest firmware release & the new USB drivers that should be used with it. http://www.foresightsports.com/drivers-downloads

2. With the GC2 off, connect the GC2 to your computer with the USB cable, then turn on the GC2. 

3. Start Swing Catalyst and go to Settings - Hardware in start menu
4. Enable Launch Monitor integration. Make sure Enable as trigger is checked if you want the launch monitor to act as a capture trigger.

Foresight GC2 Simulator integration:

Troubleshooting Foresight USB

1. Make sure the Foresight GC2 unit is connected to the PC, and that the Foresight Simulator software is not running in the background.

Troubleshooting Foresight Simulator

3. Try starting the simulator and Swing Catalyst as administrator (right click the program, and click run as administrator).

4. Make sure that you have 'Use as trigger' enabled in the Swing Catalyst settings.

5. Make sure that you're using Club Fitting mode in the Foresight simulator, and that Shots.CSV is enabled in the Settings.
