 The OpenScope MZ uses software calibration to improve measurement accuracy and each OpenScope MZ is calibrated as part of the manufacturing process.  The OpenScope MZ **does not** need to be re-calibrated before each use, however, calibration is recommended before the first use and when changing environments, especially if there is a large temperature variation between environments.   The OpenScope MZ uses software calibration to improve measurement accuracy and each OpenScope MZ is calibrated as part of the manufacturing process.  The OpenScope MZ **does not** need to be re-calibrated before each use, however, calibration is recommended before the first use and when changing environments, especially if there is a large temperature variation between environments.  
  
 Calibration tables are saved in the OpenScope MZ flash in one of two locations: **flash** and **SD**.  The **SD** calibration is intended to be overwritten by the user during normal use.  The **flash** calibration is populated during manufacturing but it can also be overwritten.  Calibration data is applied to the instruments when the OpenScope MZ boots.  If the **SD** calibration exists it will be applied.  If not and the **flash** calibration exists it will be applied.  If neither the **SD** nor **flash** calibrations exist the ideal calibration will be applied to the instruments. Calibration tables are saved in the OpenScope MZ flash in one of two locations: **flash** and **SD**.  The **SD** calibration is intended to be overwritten by the user during normal use.  The **flash** calibration is populated during manufacturing but it can also be overwritten.  Calibration data is applied to the instruments when the OpenScope MZ boots.  If the **SD** calibration exists it will be applied.  If not and the **flash** calibration exists it will be applied.  If neither the **SD** nor **flash** calibrations exist the ideal calibration will be applied to the instruments.
