13 | | - Follow these guidelines to decide where to mount your two Lighthouse base stations: |
14 | | - |
15 | | - - They should be centered above and facing the area that will be occupied by the lighthouse receivers. |
16 | | - - The lighthouses should have the same orientation. |
17 | | - - The distance between the receiver and the transmitters should not exceed the maximum range. This depends |
18 | | - on the sensitivity of the receiver's photodiode on the headstage and is best determined experimentally. Each |
19 | | - base station has a 120° field of view. However, the photodiode has a larger chance of being obstructed from |
20 | | - the transmitter by parts on the headstage at larger angles. |
21 | | - - Position measurements are noisier when receivers are at the boundary of the transmitters' range, so leave a |
22 | | - safe margin. |
23 | | - - A receiver must be in range of _both_ transmitters in order to measure position. |
24 | | - - Secure the base stations such that they can't be easily jostled or moved. |

31 | 44 | If the TS4231V1PositionData operator ceases to produce data (i.e. if the visualizer stops updating) |
32 | 45 | at a certain spot, the current base station configuration does not cover that spot. If you are unfamiliar with |
33 | 46 | using Bonsai to acquire Onix data to do this, visit the OpenEphys.Onix1 Bonsai package |
