How to Add a Calibration Panel to Zeiss Correlate Software without a Connected System?

Step 1 – Open ZEISS Correlate

Launch ZEISS Correlate on your workstation. No system connection is required for this workflow.

Step 2 – Navigate to the Preferences Menu

From the top menu bar, follow this path:

Edit → Preferences → Templates → Calibration Objects

Step 3 – Review the Currently Loaded Calibration Panel

At the top of the calibration panel interface, verify whether a calibration panel is already selected. Else a new can always be added.

If a calibration panel is loaded:

• Confirm that all information is correct, including
  • Ambient temperature
  • Calibration object details
• If everything is correct, continue with the calibration process.

Step 4 – Import the Calibration File

Within the calibration interface:

• Click the folder icon to import a calibration file from a local directory or USB thumb drive
• Select the appropriate calibration file (for example, a CPA10 panel with the .calobj extension)

Step 5 – Verify Calibration Object Parameters

After importing the file:

• Review all calibration object parameters
• Confirm that the distance values and dimensions match the information printed on the calibration object tag
• Use the Edit icon to inspect or modify the distance definitions if needed

Distance Definition for Calibration Objects

If needed, two distances can be defined as following:

• Distance 1 is defined from the top‑left coded marker to the bottom‑right coded marker
• Distance 2 is defined from the top‑right coded marker to the bottom‑left coded marker

Example with CP20 (Calibration Panel):

Example with CC20 (Calibration Cross):

 

Step 6 – Save and Continue

Once all parameters are verified:

• Click OK to confirm the calibration object
• The calibration file is now available for use when performing calibration with an ARAMIS system
