conditions and viewing angles, the following settings can be modified:
Set contrast

Calibrate screen
in order to compensate for the parallel axis, which is dependent on the
installation position and angle of observation, and any operating errors which
may occur as a result.
There are two ways to modify both the contrast and calibration settings:
during the initialization phase of the operating unit
during normal operation
