  • Page 110: Calibration Serial Commands

    Calibration Overview Calibration is one of the most powerful features of the MicroHAWK Engine. The calibration process can be initiated by serial command or in the ESP user interface. When the reader enters calibration, it runs through an optimization cycle that sets the ideal parameters for reading symbols at the highest possible level of performance.
