 Masking section


> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Control** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Slack** | Specify the number of additional pixels to mask around the detected edges. Range 0 to 4.<br>Default: 1 px |
| **Clear Previous Masks** | When selected, previous masks are cleared at the start of the masking process.Default: Selected |
| **Mask All** | Auto-mask all cameras |
| **Selected** | Auto-mask selected cameras |
| **Cancel** | Cancel the current auto-masking operation and restore the previous camera masks. For this button to be enabled, manual masking must be in progress. |
| **Manual Mask Paint** | Click to start manual masking. For this button to be enabled, at least one camera must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancel the current masking operation and restore the previous camera masks. For this button to be enabled, manual masking must be in progress.<br>This Cancel button is located next to the **Manual Mask Paint** button. |

 Wand Wave section


> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Control** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| Wand list | Select the calibration object to be used during the camera calibration process. By default, the selected object is also used for setting the volume origin.   
If required, you can select a different object for setting the origin. To do this, ensure the Advanced properties are displayed and in the **S****et Volume Origin** <span style="color: #172b4d"> section, select the required object.</span>   
Default: Active Wand v2 |
| **Auto Stop** | When selected, Tracker automatically stops camera calibration when sufficient data (defined by the **Auto Stop Minimum Frames **parameter)  has been collected.<br>This is an advanced parameter.  
Default: Selected |
| **Auto Stop Minimum Frames** | With auto stop selected, the minimum wand coverage (in number of frames) required per camera before Tracker automatically stops calibration. Range 100 to 10,000.<br>This is an advanced parameter.  
Default: 1000 |
| **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** | Start collecting wand wave data for camera calibration. At least two optical cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Selected** | Start collecting wand wave data for calibrating selected cameras. At least one camera must be selected for this button to be active. |
| **Cancel** | Cancel the current camera calibration operation. |

 Volume Setup section


> Macro (scroll-tablelayout)

| **Control** | **Description** |
| --- | --- |
| ***Set Volume Origin section***** ** |
| Synchronize L-Frame > Macro (inline-media-image) | Click to control whether the L-Frame is synchronized with the wand wave calibration object. Disable to select a different L-Frame.<br>Default: Synchronized |
| **Perform Rescale** | 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/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=ED&title=Scale%20calibration%20and%20set%20a%20fixed%20origin).Default: Cleared |
| **Start Set Origin** | Click to start collecting data to set the volume origin. For this button to be enabled, at least two calibrated optical cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancel the current Set Origin operation. For this button to be enabled, Set Origin must be in progress. |
| ***Set Floor Plane section***** ** |
| **Height offset (mm)** | Set the amount in millimeters by which to lower the floor plane.  
Default: 7 mm |
| **Start Set Floor Plane** | Click to start collecting data to set the floor plane. For this button to be enabled, at least two calibrated optical cameras must be contributing data. |
| **Cancel** | Cancel 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 |
