| --- | --- |
| **Slack** | Specify the number of additional pixels to mask around the detected edges. Range 0 to 4.  
Default: 1 px |
| **Clear Previous Masks** | When selected, previous masks are cleared at the start of the masking process.  
Default: Selected |
| **Mask All** | Starts automatically masking light sources. At least one camera must be contributing data. |
| **Selected** | Automatically masks the current camera selection. At least one camera must be selected. |
| **Cancel** | Cancels the current auto-masking operation and restores the previous camera masks. For this button to be enabled, auto-masking must be in progress. |
| **Manual Mask Paint** | Starts manual masking. For this button to be enabled, at least one camera must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancels the current masking operation and restore the previous camera masks. For this button to be enabled, manual masking must be in progress. |

 Wand Wave section


> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Control** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Wand list | Select the calibration object to be used during the camera calibration process. Also used for Set Origin process, unless you select a different calibration object in the Volume Setup section (Advanced parameters).  
Default: Active Wand v2 |
| **Auto Stop** | When selected, Evoke automatically stops camera calibration when sufficient data (defined by the number of minimum wand detection frames) has been collected.  
Default: Selected |
| **Auto Stop Minimum Frames** | With Auto Stop selected, this value defines the minimum number of wand detection frames required per camera before Evoke automatically stops calibration. Range 100 to 10,000.  
Default: 1000 |
| **Auto Stop Minimum Frames (Video)** | With Auto Stop selected, this value defines the minimum number of wand detection frames required per video camera before Evoke automatically stops calibration. Range 100 to 10,000.  
Default: 500 |
| **Wand Ratio Tolerance** | Tolerance of the distance between the markers on the wand (expressed as a ratio), to enable it to be labeled in 2D. Range 0.01 to 0.50.  
Default: 0.2 |
| **Wand Straightness Tolerance** | Tolerance in alignment of wand markers (relating to the maximum angle allowed between markers) to enable it to be labeled in 2D. Range 0.01 to 0.50.  
Default: 0.2 |
| **Wave All** | Starts collecting wand wave data for camera calibration. At least two non-video cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Selected** | Starts collecting wand wave data for calibrating selected cameras. |
| **Cancel** | Cancels the current camera calibration operation. |

 Volume Setup section

> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Control** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| ***Set Volume Origin section***** ** |
| Synchronize L-Frame > Macro (inline-media-image) | Controls whether the L-Frame is synchronized with the wand wave calibration object. Disable to select a different L-Frame.  
Default: Synchronized |
| Wand list | Select the calibration object to be used during the Set Volume Origin process, if different from the calibration object selected in the Wand Wave section (Advanced parameters).  
Default: Active Wand v2 |
| **Perform Rescale** | When selected, rescales the calibration using the dimensions of the selected L-Frame object. For more information see [Scale calibration and set a fixed origin](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Evoke17/pages/10817435).  
Default: Selected |
| **Start Set Origin** | Starts collecting data to set the volume origin. For this button to be enabled, at least two calibrated optical cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancels the current Set Origin operation. For this button to be enabled, Set Origin must be in progress. |
| ***Set Floor Plane section***** ** |
| **Height offset (mm)** | Specify a value in millimeters by which to lower the floor plane.  
Default: 7 mm |
| **Start Set Floor Plane** | Starts collecting data to set the floor plane. For this button to be enabled, at least two calibrated optical cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancels the current set floor plane operation. For this button to be enabled, Set Floor Plane must be in progress. |
| *
****Set Floor Grid section****
* |
| **Min X (mm)** | Set the minimum x-coordinate of the floor plane in millimeters.   
Default: -3,000 mm |
| **Max X (mm)** | Set the maximum x-coordinate of the floor plane in millimeters.  
Default: 3,000 mm |
| **Min Y (mm)** | Set the minimum y-coordinate of the floor plane in millimeters.  
Default: -3,000 mm |
| **Max Y (mm)** | Set the maximum y-coordinate of the floor plane in millimeters.  
Default: 3,000 mm |
| **Set Floor Grid** | Automatically sets the size of the floor grid from the visible floor area. For this button to be enabled, at least two cameras must be calibrated. |
| *
**** Auto Number Cameras section****
* |
| **Auto Number Cameras** | Automatically numbers the cameras sequentially around the volume (see [Autonumber cameras](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Evoke17/pages/10818124/Set+up+the+volume#AutonumberCameras)). |
