PERFORM TOOL CALIBRATION
NOTES:
• Tool Calibration is performed to determine the axis length and tip location of the pointer, drill, or
manual instrument.
• Orientation calibration is the last step of Tool Calibration. Orientation calibration is performed to de-
termine the orientation of the pointer, drill, or manual instrument within the 3-D space.
• ALWAYS keep the tip of the pointer, drill, or manual instrument in the same user-defined location
during the entire calibration procedure.
• Sequence numbers and a progress bar are provided in the TOOL CALIBRATION dialog window as visual
feedback during the calibration procedure.
1. Click on the CALIBRATE or RECALIBRATE button to begin the calibration process ( Fig. 5 page 11 ).
2. Make sure the desired tool is selected for calibration.
3. Hold the tip of the tool in a fixed location on the Patient. Make sure the tracking shapes are facing the
camera and are within the camera line of sight.

4. After visual and audible feedback indicates successful data acquisition, change the angle of the tool
while keeping the tip of the tool in a fixed location.
5. Change the angle of the tool seven times with the tip location in a fixed location.
6. Hold the tool perpendicular to the Patient to perform the direction calibration ( Fig. 7 ).
An INFORMATION MESSAGE pop-up will appear to indicate the successful completion of the calibration
procedure. ( As shown in the 3D Scene )
7. Perform the Patient CALIBRATION if necessary.
8. Click on the START or RESUME button to begin or continue the simulation, respectively, if desired.
