3. Perform macro movements, as follows:
a. Start with large-but gentle-movements. See the Figure above. Beginning at the top, move the arm of the device
left/right. The body, sometimes referred to as the turret, of the haptic device will pivot until it reaches a physical
limit. Again, do not try to force the device past any of the mechanical stops.
b. Next, move the stylus up/down. The primary movement will happen in the shoulder of the haptic device.
c. Next move it in/out with the primary movement happening in the elbow. When you reach a physical limit, you'll
feel one of the
device's mechanical stops. Don't force the device past any of these stops.
4. Next, perform micro movements further down the haptic device, moving the device at the stylus:
a. Holding the stylus with one hand rotate left/right at the top of the yoke.
b. Next pivot it up/down at the bottom of the yoke where it joins the stylus.
c. Finally, gently twist the stylus back/forth.
You should now have an understanding of the range of motion of the haptic device at each axis point and where its
limits are.
WARNING: ALWAYS WORK WITH THE CONNECTED END OF THE STYLUS POINTING AWAY FROM YOU. NEVER ROTATE THE
STYLUS WITH THE POINT FACING YOU.
