+# How to calibration the camera system
+
+*This tutorial is in a draft state*
+
+On the computer Coover 3050-07, open the Tracking Tools program.
+
+1. Click the "Camera Calibration" button. (It is a picture of a wand).
+2. Get the calibration wand (on top of cabinet). Ensure the calibration wand is REMOVED from the viewing area.
+3. Click "Start Wanding".
+  4. If you get a message about reflective materials being seen, click "Block".
+5. Click "Start Wanding" again.
+6. Start painting
+
+Look at each individual camera sample count, and ensure each camera has a sufficient number. Also look at the generic "sufficient for quality" indicator. Try to get samples data points for all areas of the viewing area.
+
+Last time, we tried to get the sufficient quality at "very high" and each camera sample count over 10,000.
+
+After you finished, click "Apply Result".
+
+Then click "apply and refine" and save.
+
+Next, you'll be calibrating the floor. Then use the L-tool with the trackables (in the cabinet). In order to get the z-axis pointing vertically, you'll need to pinch the L-tool so that it sits upright on the floor (we used bricks). You can use a level to ensure it is stable.
+
+Click "Set Ground Plane".
