Troubleshooting

If something is not quite right, try these quick 
tips to get things going again.

What’s in the box

I am missing some equipment

or 

Some equipment appears damaged from 
shipment.

Connecting

My hardware isn’t connecting to the 
computer.

Confirm that the IP address settings are 
correct following the instructions in 

Connect and configure the PC

 on page 6.

Disable any firewall on the network card you 
are using.

Confirm that the Ethernet cable is firmly 
seated.

Make sure you are an administrator on the 
computer.

Camera hardware

I don’t see an image from the camera.

Confirm that you have removed the lens cap.

Ensure that the aperture is not fully closed.

Confirm that the strobe intensity is high 
(best on full at 1) and that the threshold is 
not too high (a good default is 0.2).

When I tap a calibrated camera to select it, the 
camera indicates that it has been bumped.

To change the sensitivity of the camera to 
taps, in the camera’s 

Properties

 pane, 

Settings

 section (Nexus and Tracker) or 

Attributes

 editor (Blade), choose a lower 

Bump Detection Sensitivity

 setting. 

Calibrating

After calibrating in Nexus or Blade, I don’t see 
any markers in the 3D Perspective view.

Ensure that the Pipeline Core Processor 
property (Nexus) or Realtime editor (Blade) 
is set to Reconstruct, not Circle Fit.

The image errors are very high.

Ensure that the camera aim and focus are 
correct, that the camera properties are 
adjusted appropriately, and that you 
covered the whole volume during your wand 
wave, then repeat your calibration.
