Calibration

We will during the first training module make a calibration of the VideometerLab, and explain options, checks, and policies more carefully.

IMPORTANT: Be aware that the white calibration plate is extra sensitive to dirt and grease. Never touch the white paint on the plate, and only clean it with particle-free air as shown in the video.
