Arena

The data of case documents are recorded in a particular arena which confines the space through which the animal can move. In Wintrack, the arena is a field among others. As such it can be displayed in case windows along with the animal's path and can be referred to during data analysis. The size and shape of the arena are specified using the Arena Properties command which allows to choose from three predefined arena types:

• Watermaze
• Barnes maze
• Openfield

As an alternative, non-standard arenas can be defined in a custom setup file.
