+The procedure to start the magnetometer can be done as follows:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item Activate the FGMM3D box, start the \textit{FGM3D TD Application} software and check if the device was recognissed automatically (Port: FGM3D TD (000125). If the device was not recognized, click on \textit{File -> Rescan} devices, else restart the computer.
+	\item Click on \textit{connct} and \textit{start}. Telemetry should now be displayed in the application. Use the \textit{Live Streaming} console and stram to \textbf{COM10}
+	\item Start the \textit{Helmholtz Control.exe} software and navigate to e.g. \textit{Menu -> Ambient Filed Calibration}
+	Start the \textit{fgm3dcadapter.py} script that forwards the data live stream from \textit{COM10} on the Sensys app \textbf{COM11} of the  Helmholtz application.
+	\item Start the data live stream in the FGM3D software by first starting the data acquisition and then live streaming function. Check if the console of the applocation says "Magnetometer State: active"
+	\item The test bench should be ready to run e.g. the Magnetometer Calibrtation script.
+\end{itemize}

 The calibration method used (Zikmund \cite{ref:calibration_procedure_magnetometer_helmholtz_cage}) relies on a simplified error model and the Helmholtz test bench.
 After either measuring the local geomagnetic field or cancelling it, the magnetometer-under-test runs through a sequence of magnetic fields generated by the Helmholtz coils, which supplies sufficient data to solve a system of equations containing the coefficients of interest.
