When the BD FocalPoint™ GS Review application is first opened, the user is instructed to
calibrate the stage.
3.2 Calibrating the Stage
In order to set the x and y coordinates of the microscope stage, a stage calibration must be
performed to establish the reference point. Each time the application is opened, there will
automatically be a prompt to perform a stage calibration. A dialog box (see Figure 3-2) called
"Calibrate Top Edge" opens for guidance through the process.
