Custom Reference for Start Position
7. May 2024 | Updates
Purpose When defining the start position, an alternative coordinate system can now be used for more flexibility.
Usage
- Open UI “Start Position”

- Select reference to define of start position

Offset and rotation are reset. - Adjust offset and rotation
- Exit dialog with “OK” to accept start position
Notes
- Selected reference must reside in electrode model.
- Adjusted start position overrides the default values.
- The set start position only applies to the activated component/position. Repeat the process for subsequent positions if necessary.
- Changes to the reference coordinate system result in a recalculation of the position.
- The adjusted start position is automatically removed if the reference coordinate system is no longer valid. In this case, the default behavior is used again.
