Claim 8:
9. A device for non-destructive testing of a mechanical part, including an optical motion-tracking system, a non-destructive testing probe fixedly linked to a first rigid body, a pointing device including a tip and fixedly linked to a second rigid body, and a calculator,
wherein the calculator is configured to:
learn an origin of an examination area of the surface of the mechanical part using the pointing device, in a coordinate system linked to the optical motion-tracking system,
learn axes of the examination area of the mechanical part using the pointing device, in the coordinate system linked to the optical motion-tracking system, so as to define a coordinate system linked to the examination area,
learn an origin and axes of an emitter and receiver surface, called active surface of the probe using the pointing device, in a coordinate system linked to the first rigid body of the probe, and
determine the origin and the orientation of the active surface of the probe, in a coordinate system linked to the examination area.
