Claim 10:
11. A method for calibrating a probe that includes an image sensor and a magnetic field sensor, the method comprising:
disposing the probe in a jig;
generating at least one magnetic field having a predefined direction in alignment with the jig;
rotating an optical target relative to the probe and a portion of the jig;
capturing with the image sensor an image of the optical target aligned with the jig while the probe is held stationary in the jig,
receiving from the probe a signal output by the magnetic field sensor in response to the at least one magnetic field and the image captured by the image sensor while the probe is held in the jig; and
calibrating an alignment of the image sensor relative to the magnetic field sensor responsively to the received signal and the received image.
