Calibration

Calibration Result Windows

The results are displayed in table
format and as a graph. There are
also some additional data display-
ing the statistics of the calibration
as well as environmental informa-
tion that was automatically inserted
during the calibration or it was
manually entered after the calibra-
tion. If any calibration notes were
written, they can also be seen on
one of the calibration result pages.
Use the

from one result page to another.

The table with numeric results may
include more rows in the table than
what can be displayed. Use the
vertical cursor keys to scroll
through all rows.
