Magnetometer calibration

The Colibri sensors are factory calibrated and tested before being shipped. However, the magnetic

calibration is very sensitive to environmental changes. Especially metal and electromagnetic fields

emitted by other devices can influence the quality of the tracking results. To obtain the best

possible orientation estimates, the Colibri should have its magnetometers recalibrated once it has

been mounted in the way it is intended to be used. Not doing so will result in degraded orientation

estimates.

Colibri Wireless User Manual 9

1.Choose the tracker that you want to calibrate. (Magnetometer calibration must be done for

every tracker separately).

2. Choose settings from the context menu.
