OpticalRevEng Dental offers a set of Service Tools, inside the Tools Menu, to recalibrate and diagnose problems of the scanner.

4. Click Start

If the calibration kit name is not available in the drop down menu the Load New Master Xml button can be used to add a new calibration kit from the appropiate xml description file.

The calibration procedure is automatic. At its end the software will show one of the following messages:

• 'Scanner Already Calibrated' : The calibration was not needed
• 'Scanner Recalibrated Successfully' : The calibration was completed without error
• 'Scanner Recalibration Failed' : Some error happened

If the calibration was successful the Axis Calibration starts automatically.
