3: Configuration and Basic Operation

Note:

Prior

to setting the
'Angle Align', make
sure you have
configured the
Reference Frame
setting. (Steps 1-9)

Setting the Angle Align

Note: If you prefer to have the

'Flip Sensor Axes'

setting disabled, and you enabled it to

follow Steps 1-9, return to the '

Settings

' tab and disable it before beginning this section of

the procedure.

10.

Attach the sensor to the object that you would like to track. Align that object's

coordinate frame to your new reference frame, such that the object axes,

obj

and

obj

, are parallel to

and

Figure 3.5: Setting the Angle Align

11.

With the object stationary, click on the

'Settings'

tab, and enter the

following 'Angle Align' values:

Angle

Align:

0.0 0.0 0.0

(select 'Apply' to send to the Scanner)
