Check Calibration
Help Index
Usual Setting
If you are running the application for a normal periodic calibration, mark the radio
button to check the current calibration. This will typically take less time than running a
full calibration and may show that re-calibration is not needed at this time.
The Purpose of This Step
This gives the user the ability to check the accuracy of the currently applied calibration
to see whether it is still within a reasonable range of the target values. If the monitor
has drifted too far (or if its controls have been adjusted) then re-calibration will be
recommended.
The Long Answer
Conventionally, monitor calibration products simply alert the user to re-calibrate the
display after a period of time has passed. Whether or not re-calibration is actually
necessary at that time can be determined by taking a few measurements (fewer than
re-calibration takes). If the current calibration is still valid then there is no need to
recalibrate.
Over time the user could modify their re-calibration reminder time based on the
results of Check Calibration.
