Loading the Calibration Data
When using a measuring volume for the first time, you need to load
the corresponding calibration data into the ATOS software and cali-
brate the sensor. If you purchased the measuring volume together
with the complete ATOS system, the calibration data is already load-
ed.
Insert the CD belonging to the calibration object into the computer and
start the ATOS software. Choose

Choose the calibration file with the extension
.calobj
from the CD.
Now, the calibration object is selectable in the ATOS software.

Preparing the Calibration Process
When you want to calibrate a measuring volume, the sensor is already
set up (see section 8) and the ATOS software knows which measuring
volume and which camera position you want to use. Based on this in-
formation, the software determines the required focal lengths of the
lenses.

Maybe you are asked whether the settings are to be reset to the rec-
ommended calibration settings. This always happens when the cali-
bration object has never been used before or it was used in connec-
tion with a different camera position (SO, 300, 500). Confirm the re-
quest with
Yes
.
In the following windows, enter the current measurement temperature
and accept the adjusted focal lengths (camera and projector lens).
Place the calibration object with its case on the floor and use the
stand to position the sensor at the measuring distance orthogonally
over it. As the laser pointers are already adjusted to this distance (see
section 8.4.2), you only need to move the sensor on the stand up or
down until the two laser points become one.
