Polhemus woes

Hello,

I am having an issue with the Polhemus, and am not sure whether it is a Vizard or Polhemus issue (or whether you have heard of the problem). The problem is that the coordinate system of the patriot sensor sometimes is reversed on startup. This would not be an issue (I could just scale it), but it seems arbitrary in which system it chooses.

I tried to follow the notes in the Polhemus help (ie. below the sensor, 12-14 inches behind the sensor with the front of the marker aligned with the tail), but that didn't seem to help.

So, any suggestions other than putting in a toggle to reverse the scale?

Thanks,
Christian
