-  * When the next window opens select options, uncheck “Detect L Frame”, then click OK. On the right hand side click “Start Tracking”. After that process is done click “Assign Markers” Verify marker identification for the wand. Check that each camera has an accurate marker for “Wand Short”, “Wand Mid”, and “Wand Long”. If you find that markers are identified incorrectly you should redo the calibration rather than trying to fix the issue. It will likely be faster. When finished click OK.

   * Next click “Export to raw data”. Then close the window. When prompted with, “There are unsaved marker assignments and/or marker positions. Do you want to save the current state to continue marker association later?” click **YES**. To save intermediate tracking data click OK and the next pop up. Using “Tracking” as the name is fine. After this process go to **File>Save TO SAVE PROGRESS!**
-  * Right click the cameras drop down again and select “3D Tracking”. In the subsequent window make sure “3D calibration video” is selected from the drop down. Additionally make sure all cameras are selected. Proceed to identify all markers of the L frame in 3 different views all in the same frame (it can be the first frame). Make sure you are on the proper marker selection on the right hand toolbar. **DO NOT ACCIDENTLY IDENTIFY THE WAND!** To make a selection, select L-Frame Origin from the list, move the cursor over the large camera view where the L-Frame is visible, get as close to the origin marker as possible, **LEFT CLICK AND HOLD THE LEFT CLICK**, then utilize the lower right hand zoomed in camera view to get as accurate as possible with your selection, then release the left click to make your selection. You should automatically be moved to the next marker from the right hand menu after making a selection. After identifying “L-Frame long”, **MAKE SURE TO CLICK BACK ON L-FRAME ORIGIN AS YOU WILLHAVE JUMPED BACK UP TO WAND SHORT!** Repeat this process for all 4 markers of the L-Frame in 3 camera views. If you incorrectly identify a marker, right click on that specific arrow and choose “discard point”. When finished, close the window, then again go to File>Save to save your progress.

-  * After detecting the L-Frame, you now need to process the calibration. Right click on “Camera calibration groups” and select “New Wand Calibration”. Make sure all cameras are selected as well as making sure to check the box labeled “Save 3D calibration additionally in camera object”. Then click OK. In the following window you will see a list of “Wand Calibration Settings”. They should be as follows unless instructed differently by S3D:

   * The calibration is now processing. It should typically take anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. If far outside of this range you should make sure the calibration is good before utilizing it. In the follow up “Camera Validation” window, check the highlighted values. Wand length should always be 600mm, L-Frame offset should be 15mm unless specified to be different for your L-Frame. Wand length mean and median should be within + 5mm of 600mm. For standard deviation of the calibration use the following guidelines when judging calibration. **REMEMBER TO FILE>SAVE AFTER VALIDATING CALIBRATION!**

-  * To double check if these values have correlated to a good calibration, you can do a 3D still image measurement to be certain. First capture a movement video with this calculated calibration attached to it. Then in motion, right click on cameras, click “3D still image measurement”, and select an identifiable point in 2 or 3 different cameras to see if the points line up across all the cameras. After processing a valid calibration, go back to “Trigger” settings and change the frequency back to what it was set to before the calibration.
