Two-point calibration

The previous section described how to apply a offset, or trim, calibration, which applies a fixed offset over the full display range of the controller. A two-point calibration is used to calibrate the controller at two points and applies a straight line between them. Any readings above, or below, the two calibration points will be an extension of this straight line. For this reason it is best to calibrate with the two points as far apart as possible.
