BUG: fCal Unexpectedly Closes When Using Spatial Calibration Toolbox

[jonortega77]

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue where fCal unexpectedly closes whenever I attempt to use the Spatial Calibration toolbox. I’m not sure why this is happening, and I haven’t been able to identify any specific error messages leading up to the crash.

Moreover, I have not the opportunity to perform the spatial calibration because it says that "Phantom registration is not available"

Here’s a summary of my setup and the video showing the process:

fCal Version: PlusApp-2.9.0.20240906-Clarius-Win64
Operating System: Windows 11

XML config file:

config_file.txt

Please any guidance in this topic would be appreciated !

Thanks

I have been able to fix it making this changes that you can compare it with the already uploaded config file:

These changes have been done since I am using the "Tool" NDI marker which is specified in the device part of the config file (check screeshot):

I would recommend to use Probe as name of probe coordinate system: instead of changing Probe to Tool everywhere, you can just change the Id of the 8700339.rom to Probe.

but still does not work as it is shown in the video #1211 .

Any suggestions that can help me with this?
