Setting the System for Calibration

Setting the System for Calibration

After you’ve placed down your pads and recorded your measurements, you’re ready begin the calibration process. First, 

you'll need to capture the images from the cameras and transfer them to your computer for calibration. 

Capturing AVM images

To capture the images, you’ll need to do the following:

1.  Insert SD card (with SAV-BOOT) into the 

Electronic Control Unit (ECU)

2.  Power up the ECU. The ECU detects the SD card on power up, and displays the system menu.

3.  Use the AVM remote control to select the 

Calibration

 option, then press the 

OK

 button (indicated on the remote by a 

 symbol). Next, select 

Camera Capture

 and press 

OK

 again. 

4. 

The AVM copies 4 files to the SD card. 

5.  When copying is done (OK appears on the screen), power down the unit, and remove the SD card.

Transferring images to your computer

Once you’ve captured the raw images on the SD card, you’ll need to transfer them to your PC for calibration. To do this: 

1. 

Insert the SD card (with USB adapter, if required) into the PC.

2. 

Navigate to the SD card location. Cut the following 4 files: 

•  FRONT.bin

•  RIGHT.bin

•  LEFT.bin

•  REAR.bin
