There are four levels of calibration quality:
good
acceptable
poor
fail
Generally, a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ quality indication is sufficient.
If the calibration result is not ‘good’, the reason is indicated in the
text below. Read the advice provided to improve the result. If the
result is “acceptable”, consider repeating.
A ‘poor’ quality indicates that there is too much movement during
the calibration or the magnetic field is disturbed. It is still possible
to continue with recording, but it is better to repeat taking into
account the advice provided.

calibration quality
Note that a ‘good’ or ‘acceptable’ quality indication does not necessarily mean that the actual calibration
is accurate. MVN Studio can perform limited checks of the actual pose of the subject during the
calibration due to a natural variation in body physique and locations of the motion trackers on the body.
Therefore, always pay attention to the pose of the subject since it will influence the quality of the
recording.
Calibration data can be saved. This is useful if MVN Studio closes/must be closed suddenly. When
rebooting, data can be reloaded, without having to re-calibrate. To reload a calibration (including body
dimensions), click ‘Load’.
