1. When is it necessary to calibrate Trackit?
Be sure to calibrate your Trackit before your first use, after scanning environment/temperature changes, or after transporting it.
It's recommended to calibrate your Trackit each week or when a high-accuracy scan is required.
2. What is the calibration process?
（1）Scanner Calibration: Place the Calibration Board flat on the table with the white side facing up. Hold the Scanner, and follow the on-screen calibration prompts.
（2）Tracker Calibration: Position the Scanner Tripod with the Calibration Pole facing the Tracker. Adjust the Tracker Tripod’s height to ensure the Tracker captures the Calibration Pole. Then, following the software prompts, calibrate the Tracker at different distances such as 1.5 m and 2 m..
（3）Hand-Eye Calibration:
① Place the Positioning Pad: Unfold the Positioning Pad on the table. Position the Scanner and Calibration Board Tripods as shown on the Positioning Pad.
② Install the Calibration Board: Place the Calibration Board into its tripod with the black side facing the Scanner and the markers side facing the Tracker. Ensure no markers are blocked during the placement.
③ Install the Scanner: Remove the Calibration Pole from the Scanner Gimbal. Then, connect the Scanner to the gimbal using the Scanner Adapter. Once completed, place the Tracker and do the Hand-Eye Calibration following the on-screen prompts.
3. How long does calibration take?
The entire process of connecting the device and performing calibration takes approximately 40 - 45 minutes.
4. What's the USB flash drive for?
The USB flash drive is used to store calibration pole and calibration board measurement data, Trackit usage tutorials, software and more.
5. How do you calibrate Trackit?
The Tracker and the tracking system uses automatic gimbal calibration, while the Scanner requires manual calibration. For calibration methods, please refer to the Trackit Quick Start Guide or visit our official YouTube account, “Revopoint,” to watch the calibration tutorial video.
6. Why are the calibration board's sides different?
White coded side for calibrating the Scanner.
Black carbon fiber side for Trackit hand-eye calibration.
7. What should I be aware of when calibrating Trackit?
(1) Ensure the Tracker and Scanner’s cameras are not blocked during the process.
(2) To get accurate calibration results, ensure that only the markers on the Calibration Pole and Board are captured.
(3) Tracker needs to be calibrated at multiple distances. To ensure smooth calibration, it is recommended to calibrate in an open indoor environment with a distance of more than 4 m.
