When we test a tracker for accuracy, we generally check using point sets that make mechanical sense. For example, we may use a 3D robot to move the receiver all over the working volume (also called the motion box).
In 6DOF trackers, the coils must be precisely characterized for their electromagnetic properties: gains, non-orthogonalities, non-concentricities, and finite-size effects. Since characterization is measuring electromagnetic properties, the point set chosen should make electromagnetic sense rather than mechanical sense.
