The pump uses the current recipe parameters during the
calibration process. These include volume, density, tube
size, speed, acceleration, deceleration, and anti-drip.
The units used in calibration can be volume or weight and
are set through the settings tab. Refer to "Units" on
page 105.

Description
Single fill calibration
A calibration is done using a single fill
Multi-fill calibration
A calibration is done using an average value
calculated from all the fills taken (Enter a number
between 2 and 99 fills). For best results use
Multi-fill calibration.
If Multi-fill calibration is selected, a screen will be displayed to enter the number of
fills that will be used to create an average fill calibration value.
