To run the calibration:

Check, that the sphere radius saved into the PC matches the one reported on
the back of the calibration sphere itself. If no, then set it into the CALIBRATE
menu (just the first time after installation).

screen (if the VK is connected to the base through a cable and it is NOT
battery operated)
•
Press either OD or OS on the VK to start the acquisition
•
Hold the body of the calibration sphere between the thumb and the third finger,
and fit it well and steady onto the mires cone.
•
Turn the back knob by the second finger, until the sphere vertex turns the OK
LED on. Turn slightly back and forth so to be sure to be in the middle of the
OK zone.
•
Press the OK button and wait that the image is transferred to the PC and
accepted automatically. If the software cannot find the center automatically,
then follow the instructions on the screen.
If the instrument is battery operated (“portable” configuration), after the acquisition, it
shall be inserted firmly in the Docking base, and then run CALIBRATE on the PC.
