The Polaris Vicra System will begin a diagnostic evaluation. During this evaluation, the LEDs on
the Position Sensor will flash. When the diagnostic evaluation is complete, the Position Sensor will
emit two tones and the power LED on the Position Sensor will light.
Note
The Position Sensor initially communicates to the host computer at 9600 baud. If you are using the NDI ToolBox
application it will increase the baud rate as high as possible. If you are using your own application, the baud rate
can be set using the "COMM" API command. Refer to the "Polaris Application Program Interface Guide".
