Claim 0:
1. A method for configuring a device for non-destructive testing of a mechanical part, the device including an optical motion-tracking system, a non-destructive testing probe fixedly linked to a first rigid body, and a pointing device including a tip and fixedly linked to a second rigid body,
the method comprising:
learning of 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,
learning of 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,
learning of an origin and of 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
determination of the position and of the orientation of the active surface of the probe, in the coordinate system linked to the examination area.
