Beamformer Calibration (Front End Alignment)
Beamformer Calibrations are performed to calibrate each ADC channel of the two Beam Former (BF)
board inputs. The system calibrates the Beamformer ADCs to zero output when there is no signal on
the input.
These bias voltages are stored on hard disk in Backend Processor.
