Hello

I am trying to calibrate the mag alignment with the 12-premeasured azimuth points, but the "UNCORRECTED COMPASS SHOTS FOR MAG ALIGNMENT CALIBRATION" only shows asterisks ("*") and no numbers or text. Pressing "Begin" and "New" doesn't do anything, but creates a new asterisk. I included a video showing the issue.

Can I take each shot manually using "CONTINUOUS RAW MAG & ACC" naming each one for each orientation and whether it's normal or upside-down? If so, what is the process after I have the files, and if not, is there anything else I can do? 

Rev C v3.20

Thank you

Afaik you have to touch touchscreen not buttons on the bottom - you are just toching in the wrong place.

Just push Begin and then somewhere on the screen above - there where are asterisks, get 12 shots, then push new and turn caveatron and contiue calibration

Pressing begin, should turn on the laser. Then you point it at the known azimuth angle and tap the screen anywhere near the center and it will take a reading.
