 The objective for using a digitizing pointer is to identify anatomical landmarks without having to place motion capture markers at the location. For background information see [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Landmarks:Digitizing_Pointer|here]].

 If you have already created the digitizing wand, this step may not be necessary. It doesn't, however, hurt to check the properties.
-|**1. Define the wand:**\\ \\ - Select **Create/Modify Digitizing Wand** from the Digitizing Landmark tab\\ - The landmark will be created relative to the markers labelled **P.DIST** and **P.PROX**. These same two markers will move when the spring is compressed (this pointer trial was created using our original 2 marker pointer).\\ - Select **OK**  |  {{DigitizingPointerConfiguration.jpg}}|

 **NOTE:** It's also possible to use the digitizing pointer in Real Time streaming mode, however, it's recommended to use the post processing to ensure you still have the data. An example of using the [[Visual3D:Documentation:Modeling:Landmarks:Digitizing_Pointer_from_Streaming_Data|digitizing pointer from streaming data can be found here]].
