No, this is not reflected in the state machine, no wait period till you 
can start tracking. While the specs recommend a wait period, in practice 
no-one actually uses the system this way (20min wait period).

In the clinical environment I observed orthopedic cases using a 
commercial IGS application where the polaris was the tracking system and 
once setup was complete they started to work. I'd estimate it was about 
5-10min between end of setup and beginning of navigation, but not 20min.
