Kinova Link 6 - Importing Arm Calibration Files

EN UG-020 Link 6 user guide r1.0 91
Importing arm calibration files
You may want to calibrate the arm with the default neutral file, the last saved file, or a completely
different calibration file.
Before you begin
Kinova keeps archives of the calibration package of each unit. The calibration package contains
the data obtained during calibration in our factory. If you misplace the calibration file of your arm,
contact support@kinova.ca to provide you with the original calibration package that matches
your arm.
About this task
All imported calibration packages are verified before storing it in the controller.
Calibration packages can be imported only when the robot is idle; the arm is switched off.
Important: Only an administrator can import calibration files.
Procedure
