### Initializing the Leica Tracker

When PC-DMIS is started, the Leica Tracker starts the initialization process, which performs a series of self-checks by the Leica Tracker to verify that everything is working correctly. You may also initialize the Leica tracker by selecting the Tracker | Initialize menu item.

When you move the tracker to a new station for a "Bundle Alignment" it is necessary to re-initialize the tracker. When you turn the laser back on, you will also be required to initialize the tracker.

Important: It is strongly recommended that you initialize the encoders and internal components of your tracker 2-3 times a day. This is important due to thermal expansion of the tracker hardware, which has a direct influence on the measurement accuracy.
