5.0.2Advanced Entry Calibration

Advanced Entry Calibration is the alternate method for special-case media types. The procedure has two parts:

1)You must list the sensor readings for the label and TOF values using different algorithms.

2)From your list the best algorithm is chosen, new readings taken and those values entered.

☞Advanced Entry Calibration will override all previous calibration settings; this method should be used only when Standard Calibration has failed.
