How to Calibrate Radar LMs: R10, Mevo+, TrackMan

Part 1: Radar Launch Monitor Calibration

Radar units (Garmin R10, FlightScope Mevo+, TrackMan 4) use Doppler radar to track the ball through flight. Calibration is about positioning and alignment because the radar beam has to track the ball from behind through its entire flight path.

Garmin Approach R10

The R10 is the most popular launch monitor under $500, and it is also the most setup-sensitive per dollar. A 2-degree alignment error will produce club path readings that are off by roughly the same amount, which turns a straight shot into a 15-yard miss. Step 1: Find your ball position. Mark it on your mat with a piece of tape. This spot does not move. The R10 measures everything relative to this position. Step 2: Measure the distance from ball to screen. The R10 needs at least 10 feet of ball flight for a usable indoor read. Measure from your ball position to the impact screen. If it is under 10 feet, you are going to get inconsistent data on longer clubs. Under 8 feet, the R10 will not work reliably regardless of calibration. Step 3: Place the R10 6 to 8 feet behind the ball. Exactly. Not eyeballed. Use the tape measure. The red alignment line on top of the unit must point directly at the ball and the center of your screen. Step 4: Level the unit. The R10’s flat bottom sits on the ground. If your floor or mat is sloped, shim the unit with something thin. A business card works. The unit must be level front-to-back and side-to-side. Step 5: Align using the red line. The red line on top of the R10 is your alignment guide. It must point exactly at your ball position and the center of your target. Use an alignment stick on the ground: place it from the R10 through the ball position toward the screen. Adjust the R10 until the red line is parallel to the stick. Step 6: Calibrate with a test shot. Open the Garmin Golf app. Hit a short, straight shot with a sand wedge or 9-iron. Check the shot direction in the app. If the app shows the ball launching left of where you actually hit it, the R10 is aimed too far right. Adjust, hit another shot, and repeat until the app matches reality. Step 7: Mark your R10 position on the floor. Once calibration is dialed, put tape on the floor around the R10 feet. This lets you reproduce the exact position every session. Do not trust your eyeballs — the difference between 6 feet and 7 feet changes spin readings noticeably. Garmin R10 calibration checklist:

• Ball-to-screen distance: minimum 10 feet
• R10-to-ball distance: exactly 6 to 8 feet
• Red line aligned with ball and screen center
• Unit level on both axes
• Test shot matches app direction
• Floor position marked

FlightScope Mevo+

The Mevo+ uses hybrid radar plus a camera for alignment. Calibration is done through the FS Golf app. Step 1: Position the Mevo+ 8 feet behind the ball. The kickstand must be fully open. The built-in angle is calibrated for exactly 12 degrees of tilt when the kickstand is fully extended. Do not prop it at a different angle. Step 2: Connect to the FS Golf app. Connect your phone to the Mevo+’s Wi-Fi network. The password is your unit’s serial number (e.g., M2-123456). Step 3: Adjust Tilt and Roll. In the app, go to Radar Settings > Radar Setup. The app will show you tilt and roll readings. Tilt should be 12 degrees (automatic with kickstand open). Roll should be 0 degrees — if it is not, the surface is uneven. Shims under the unit or a towel under one side fix this. Step 4: Align using the camera. The Mevo+ has a built-in camera for alignment. In the app, select Target Alignment. The camera view shows a vertical line. Adjust the unit until the line passes through the ball and points at your target. This is the most important alignment step. Step 5: Set mode to Short Indoor. In the app settings, select Short Indoor mode. This tells the Mevo+ to expect limited ball flight and adjusts its tracking algorithm. Forgetting this step is the most common Mevo+ calibration mistake — the unit tries to track full ball flight and produces garbage data. Step 6: Apply reflective stickers. For indoor use, the Mevo+ needs a reflective sticker on the ball. Place it on the side of the ball facing the target. Without the sticker, spin readings indoors are unreliable. With the sticker, the Mevo+ measures spin directly from the optical return. Step 7: Hit verification shots. Hit five shots with the same club. Check that ball speed variation is within 2-3 mph and spin variation is reasonable for your swing. If the numbers jump around wildly, recheck alignment and tilt/roll. Mevo+ calibration checklist:

• Unit exactly 8 feet behind ball
• Kickstand fully open (12-degree tilt built-in)
• Roll error at or near 0 degrees
• Camera alignment line through ball to target
• Short Indoor mode selected in app
• Reflective sticker on ball facing target
• Verification shots show consistent data

TrackMan 4

The TrackMan 4 is a $25,000 radar unit with OERT (Optically Enhanced Radar Tracking). Calibration is more involved because the system combines radar with optical tracking. Step 1: Set up the room. TrackMan 4 needs specific distances indoors. Place the unit 7 feet behind the ball (optimal). The ball must be at least 10 feet from the impact screen. Ceiling height minimum is 9 feet. These are not suggestions — the radar needs the space to build a flight model. Step 2: Connect to TrackMan Performance Studio (TPS). Open TPS on your PC. Connect to the unit. The software walks you through calibration. Step 3: Set Tee-Up to Net Distance. In TPS, enter the exact distance from your hitting position to the impact screen. This tells the system where ball flight ends so it stops tracking and calculates the shot correctly. Step 4: Adjust the Yellow Axis (target alignment). TrackMan uses a yellow alignment axis in the software. Place alignment rods on the ground to verify the unit is pointed at your target. Adjust until the yellow line in TPS matches your physical target line. Step 5: Calibrate OERT lighting. The TrackMan 4 uses OERT lights for indoor optical tracking. Position the OERT lights per the manual. Run the light calibration in TPS. If the optical tracking cannot see the impact clearly, you will get dropouts and missed shots regardless of everything else being perfect. Step 6: Hit calibration shots. TPS will prompt you to hit several shots. The system uses these to fine-tune its tracking. Hit normal, smooth swings. No hero shots. The calibration shots establish the baseline. Step 7: Verify with a known club. Hit 10 shots with a 7-iron. Check that carry distance is within your expected range. A TrackMan 4 that is properly calibrated indoors should match outdoor TrackMan data within 1-2 yards on ball speed and within 1 degree on launch angle. TrackMan 4 calibration checklist:

• Unit 7 feet behind ball
• Ball 10 feet minimum from screen
• Ceiling at least 9 feet
• Tee-Up to Net distance set in TPS
• Yellow axis aligned to target
• OERT lights calibrated and positioned
• Lead-in shots completed in TPS
• Verification shots match expected numbers

Part 2: Photometric (Camera) Launch Monitor Calibration

Photometric units (SkyTrak+, GC3, Bushnell Launch Pro, Uneekor Eye Mini) use high-speed cameras to capture the ball at impact. Calibration is about positioning the camera’s field of view correctly and ensuring the unit is telling the truth about where it is in space.

SkyTrak+

The SkyTrak+ uses a photometric system with three cameras. Calibration is app-driven and straightforward, but the physical setup matters more than most people think. Step 1: Place the unit on the same level as the hitting surface. The SkyTrak+ has adjustable feet. Use them. The unit must be on the exact same horizontal plane as the ball. If the unit is even a quarter-inch lower or higher than the hitting surface, the cameras will not capture the ball correctly through the full impact window. Step 2: Position the ball on the red laser dot. When the SkyTrak+ is connected and ready, it projects a red laser dot onto your mat. Place the ball directly on this dot. The tracking zone is approximately 2-3 inches around the dot, but centered is always better. Step 3: Align with the hitting line. Use alignment sticks to verify the unit is parallel to your target line. The SkyTrak+ should face directly down the line, not angled toward the target. If the unit is rotated even slightly, club path and face angle readings will be off. Step 4: Check the alignment sticks in the app. SkyTrak+ has a setup screen in the app that shows you camera alignment. Place alignment sticks from the ball toward the screen. The app should show them as parallel lines. If they look skewed, rotate the unit until they appear straight. Step 5: Run the calibration process in the app. Open the SkyTrak app, go to Settings, and select Calibrate. Follow the on-screen prompts. The unit will ask you to adjust position, confirm alignment, and hit test shots. Complete every step — skipping any step leaves the calibration incomplete. Step 6: Save the calibration profile. Once the process completes, save the calibration. The unit remembers this across sessions as long as you do not move it. Step 7: Verify with test shots. Hit five shots with a 7-iron. Check that ball speed, launch angle, and spin are within reasonable ranges. If a 7-iron that normally carries 155 yards shows 130 or 175, rerun the calibration. Do not just adjust and guess — rerun the full process. Step 8: Mark the unit position on the floor. SkyTrak+ is sensitive to position changes. Tape on the floor around the feet lets you reproduce the exact position. If you bump the unit during a session, you will see it in the data before you feel it. SkyTrak+ calibration checklist:

• Unit level with hitting surface (use adjustable feet)
• Ball centered on red laser dot
• Unit parallel to target line (verified with alignment sticks)
• Alignment sticks appear straight in app camera view
• Full calibration process completed in app
• Calibration profile saved
• Verification shots within expected range
• Floor position marked with tape

GC3 / Bushnell Launch Pro

The GC3 (Foresight Sports) and Bushnell Launch Pro are the same hardware. They use three high-speed cameras and require precise leveling. Step 1: Level the unit. The GC3/Launch Pro must be level on both axes. Use a bubble level on top of the unit. If your floor or mat is uneven, shim the unit. The internal cameras are calibrated to a specific level plane, and even a 1-degree tilt produces measurable launch angle errors. Step 2: Place the unit on the same surface as the ball. Not slightly behind on a different mat. Not on a tile floor while the ball sits on a rubber mat. Same surface, same height. The cameras need an unobstructed view of the ball at the moment of impact. Step 3: Measure the distance. The GC3/Launch Pro needs the ball between 6 and 12 inches in front of the unit. Exact distance varies by model version, but 8 inches is the safe zone for most configurations. Mark this distance on your mat so you can reproduce it. Step 4: Align with the FSS Alignment Stick. The Launch Pro includes a specific alignment stick. Place it in the hitting zone aligned to your target. The unit reads the stick’s position to calibrate target alignment. The app will show you the alignment angle and let you adjust up to 10 degrees. Step 5: Run the onboard calibration. On the Launch Pro touchscreen, swipe down to access Quick Settings, then go to Target Alignment. Place the alignment stick and confirm. The unit will calculate the offset and show it on the display. The LED turns solid orange when calibration is complete. Step 6: Understand the 45-day validation rule. The Launch Pro requires internet connection at least once every 45 days to validate its license. If it goes past 45 days, it locks you out of all features. This is not a calibration issue, but it stops calibration from working. Set a reminder. Step 7: Hit verification shots. Hit five shots with a wedge and five with a 7-iron. Compare to your known distances. If the numbers are consistent and realistic, calibration is good. If they jump around, recheck leveling — that is the most common GC3 failure point. GC3 / Launch Pro calibration checklist:

• Unit level on both axes (bubble level verified)
• Unit on same surface height as ball
• Ball 6-12 inches from unit (8 inches optimal)
• FSS alignment stick positioned and read by unit
• Target alignment calibration completed on touchscreen
• Internet connection validated (45-day rule)
• Verification shots consistent

Uneekor Eye Mini

The Eye Mini is a portable photometric unit that sits in front of the ball. Calibration is done through the unit’s built-in display and the Uneekor Launcher software. Step 1: Place the Eye Mini on a level, secure surface. Use the built-in inclination sensor (shown on the Eye Mini display) to confirm the unit is level. Small adjustments are handled by the sensor, but you want it as level as possible physically. Step 2: Align parallel to the target line. This is the most common Eye Mini setup mistake. The Eye Mini must be aligned parallel to your target line, not pointed directly at the target. Use the alignment rod that came with the unit. Place it along the side of the unit and extend it toward the screen. The rod should be parallel to your target line, not pointing at the target. Step 3: Position the ball in the hitting zone. The Eye Mini’s ready zone is approximately 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep. The unit’s display shows you when a ball is detected in the zone. Center the ball in the zone for the best reads. Step 4: Install the Uneekor Launcher software. On your PC, open Uneekor Launcher, go to the Install tab, and select Eye Mini. Follow the installation prompts. Step 5: Run the calibration wizard. During installation, the software will prompt you to calibrate the launch monitor. This includes: Step 5a: Target alignment calibration. On the Eye Mini display, go to Menu > Target Alignment. Select Align. Place two balls 10 to 20 inches apart on the mat, aligned with your target. The unit’s cameras will detect both balls. When the display shows a check mark above both balls, select Apply. The unit is now calibrated to your target line. Step 6: Perform a test shot. The Uneekor Launcher will ask you to hit a test shot. Hit a smooth swing with a 7-iron. The software verifies that the unit is reading data correctly. Step 7: Verify ball placement is consistent. The Eye Mini reads the ball from its position in the hitting zone. If you move the ball around between shots, you will get inconsistent reads. Mark the ball position on your mat. Uneekor Eye Mini calibration checklist:

• Unit level (verify with built-in inclination sensor)
• Unit parallel to target line (NOT pointed at target)
• Alignment rod placed and verified
• Ball centered in ready zone
• Uneekor Launcher calibration wizard completed
• Two-ball target alignment calibrated
• Test shot verified
• Ball position marked on mat

Part 3: Overhead / Ceiling-Mounted Launch Monitor Calibration

Overhead units (TrackMan iO, Uneekor Eye XO/QED) are the easiest day-to-day and the hardest to get right the first time. Calibration is a one-time procedure during installation. If you get it wrong, every shot for the life of the system will have systematic errors.

TrackMan iO

The TrackMan iO is mounted to the ceiling and uses a calibration board for initial setup. Step 1: Verify mounting height. The iO requires specific ceiling heights. The three calibration height levels are:

• LOW: 8 feet 10 inches to 9 feet 6 inches
• MID: 9 feet 4 inches to 10 feet
• HIGH: 9 feet 10 inches to 10 feet 6 inches If your ceiling is outside this range, the iO will not calibrate correctly regardless of anything else. Step 2: Position the calibration board. Place the calibration board on the hitting surface with the tee marker centered. Align the board with your target using alignment sticks on each side. The included flashlight beam shows you exactly where the iO should be mounted on the ceiling. Step 3: Mount the unit per the ceiling bracket instructions. The iO bracket must be parallel to the hitting screen. The center of the VESA mount goes directly above the ball position. Use a plumb line to verify. Step 4: Connect power and ethernet. The iO uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a separate power adapter. Connect to your network. The unit communicates with TPS on your PC. Step 5: Open the calibration screen in TPS. Launch TPS and open the Calibration screen. The projector must be on during calibration — the calibration board positioning uses the projected image on the screen. Step 6: Position the calibration board on the screen. Hold the TMiO calibration board against the top of the impact screen. The camera on the iO automatically calculates the distance to the screen. Click Calibrate in TPS. Step 7: Position the calibration board on the ground. Move the calibration board to the ground, facing the screen. Align the purple cross on the board with the white cross shown on the projected image. Get this as close to perfect as humanly possible. Click Continue. Step 8: Auto Target Setup. The iO performs an automatic target setup to establish the correct target line. This takes about 30 seconds. When complete, click Continue to finish calibration. Step 9: Verify with test shots. Hit ten shots with a short iron and ten with a driver. Check that both club data and ball data are consistent. The iO should produce ball speed within 1 mph of a TrackMan 4 on the same shot. TrackMan iO calibration checklist:
• Ceiling height within iO calibration range
• Calibration board aligned to target with sticks
• Unit mounted directly above ball position
• Projector on during calibration
• Screen calibration board step completed
• Ground calibration board step completed
• Purple cross aligned with white cross
• Auto Target Setup completed
• Verification shots with multiple clubs

Uneekor Eye XO / QED

The Uneekor overhead systems mount above the hitting area and read marked balls through the hitting mat. Calibration requires the Uneekor calibration mat and software. Step 1: Install the hitting mat correctly. The Uneekor overhead systems require a specific hitting mat with a clear window or cutout for the cameras. The mat must be centered under the unit. Measure from the center of the unit to ensure the marked hitting zone is directly below. Step 2: Connect to Uneekor Launcher. Open Uneekor Launcher on your PC. The software detects the overhead unit when it is powered on and connected via USB or ethernet. Step 3: Run the installation wizard. The wizard walks you through:

• Verifying the unit is centered over the hitting zone
• Adjusting camera focus (some models have adjustable lenses)
• Setting the hitting surface height (distance from unit to mat)
• Calibrating the camera array for ball detection Step 4: Use the calibration ball. Uneekor provides a calibration ball (specific dot pattern). Place it in the center of the hitting zone. The software confirms the ball is detected and tracks the dot pattern correctly. Step 5: Hit a calibration sequence. The software will ask you to hit 5 to 10 shots. These shots establish the baseline for club and ball data. Hit normal swings with a mid-iron. Step 6: Verify club data. Uneekor overhead units require reflective stickers on the club face for club data. If club data is missing or inconsistent, check that the stickers are properly applied and that the unit’s cameras can see the club at impact. Uneekor Eye XO/QED calibration checklist:
• Hitting mat centered under unit
• Unit connected and detected in Uneekor Launcher
• Camera focus adjusted
• Hitting surface height calibrated
• Calibration ball detected correctly
• Calibration sequence (5-10 shots) completed
• Club data verified with stickers

Part 4: Computer Vision Launch Monitor Calibration

Pure computer vision units (Square Golf Omni, the newer AI-based systems) use standard cameras with AI tracking instead of dedicated high-speed photometric cameras or Doppler radar. Calibration is simpler but requires careful attention to lighting and ball placement.

Square Golf Omni

The Omni uses four infrared cameras and AI-based tracking. It sits 12 to 16 inches behind the ball and uses a calibration process in the Square Golf app. Step 1: Place the unit 12 to 16 inches from the ball. The ready zone is approximately 10 inches by 10 inches when the unit is perfectly level. The ball sits 14 inches from the unit with a 2-inch side offset for right-handed golfers. Step 2: Level the unit. Use the built-in sensor or a bubble level. Tilting the unit shrinks the ready zone and can cause missed shots. If the ready zone seems smaller than expected, check leveling first. Step 3: Position the ball in the front half of the ready zone for club data. The Omni’s cameras capture club data from the front 5 inches of the ready zone. If the ball is in the back of the zone, you will get ball data but no club data. Step 4: Use the alignment stick. The Omni includes an alignment stick with a specific stick zone. In the app, navigate to Settings > Target Alignment. Place the stick in the zone shown in the app. The Omni adjusts alignment up to 5 degrees. Step 5: Complete the calibration process. In the Square Golf app, follow the calibration prompts. The system will ask you to verify ball placement, confirm alignment, and hit a test shot. Step 6: Avoid heavily marked balls. The Omni’s cameras can be confused by balls with heavy dimple patterns or logo markings. Use plain white premium balls for the most reliable reads. Square Golf Omni calibration checklist:

• Unit 12-16 inches from ball
• Unit level (bubble or sensor verified)
• Ball in front half of ready zone for club data
• Alignment stick correctly positioned
• Calibration completed in Square Golf app
• Plain white premium balls used

Part 5: Universal Verification — How to Know Calibration Is Good

Regardless of which launch monitor you own, the same verification protocol works. Do this at the end of every calibration session. If the monitor passes, your data is trustworthy. If it fails, something is off.

The 10-Shot Consistency Test

Pick one club. A 7-iron is ideal because it is your most repeatable club for most golfers.

1. Hit 10 shots with the same club, same effort level, same ball position
2. Record ball speed, launch angle, spin, and carry distance for each shot
3. Calculate the range (highest minus lowest) for each metric Passing thresholds for a 10-shot test (7-iron, consistent swings):

• Ball speed: range of 3 mph or less
• Launch angle: range of 2 degrees or less
• Spin: range of 750 rpm or less
• Carry distance: range of 10 yards or less If your numbers are wider than these ranges, the issue is either calibration or your swing consistency. If you know you are a consistent ball-striker, assume calibration first and rerun the full process.

The Alignment Verification Test

Hit five shots where you deliberately try to hit a straight shot at a specific target (the center of the screen, a mark on the enclosure, whatever). Check the shot shape the monitor reports. What to look for:

• If you hit the ball straight and the monitor shows a slice or hook, alignment is off
• If you hit a draw and the monitor shows a straight shot, alignment is off in the opposite direction
• If every shot shows the same shape regardless of what you actually do, alignment is off

The Ghost Hunt Test

Check for false detections. Without a ball in the hitting zone, wave a club through the hitting area. Some monitors (especially radar units in small rooms) can pick up background noise and register phantom shots. If the monitor shows ball data when there is no ball, you have an environmental issue — reflective surfaces, metal objects, or other radar interference in the room.

Part 6: Common Calibration Mistakes

Mistake 1: Aligning the Unit to the Ball Instead of the Target

This is the most common mistake with photometric units like the Uneekor Eye Mini and SkyTrak+. You position the unit, look at the ball, and swivel the unit so it points at the ball. That is wrong. The unit must be parallel to the target line, not pointed at the ball. The cameras need the ball to pass through their field of view, not sit at the center of the lens. The fix: Use alignment sticks. Run one stick from the ball to the target (or screen center). Run another stick along the side of the launch monitor. The two sticks should be parallel.

Mistake 2: Skipping Leveling

Every launch monitor assumes a level reference plane. If the unit is tilted, it compensates by guessing, and guessing is exactly as accurate as it sounds. The GC3/Launch Pro is particularly sensitive — a 1-degree tilt produces approximately 0.7 degrees of launch angle error and measurable spin axis errors. The fix: Use a bubble level. Not the phone app. A real bubble level. Check both axes. Shim the unit with coins, business cards, or the manufacturer’s adjustable feet if your surface is uneven.

Mistake 3: Using Scuffed or Dirty Balls

A scuffed ball will spin differently than a clean one, and the launch monitor has no way to know the ball is scuffed. It reads what it sees. For photometric units, a scuffed ball surface means the cameras have less contrast to track. For radar units, inconsistent ball surface means inconsistent radar return. The fix: Use premium balls (Pro V1, TP5, Z-Star) in good condition. Replace them when they show wear. Do not use range balls indoors. Do not use balls from the bottom of your bag that have been sitting in the garage for three years.

Mistake 4: Ignoring Lighting for Camera-Based Units

Photometric and computer vision units need adequate, even lighting. Shadows across the hitting zone, bright overhead spots, and sunlight streaming through a garage window all create tracking errors. Uneekor’s overhead systems are less sensitive to this (they use controlled IR illumination), but SkyTrak+, GC3, and Square Golf Omni all need the right light. The fix: Use even, diffused overhead lighting. Avoid spotlights pointed at the hitting area. Blackout curtains on windows. If you are fighting lighting issues, test calibration at night with only your simulator lights on.

Mistake 5: Trusting “Set It and Forget It” with Radar Units

Radar units are displaced by bumps, vibrations from hitting, and cats walking past. If you calibrated your R10 in November and it is now February, assume the calibration is wrong and recheck. The fix: Do a quick alignment check before every session. The 10-shot consistency test takes 5 minutes. It saves you from hitting 100 shots with bad data and then wondering why your swing fell apart.

Mistake 6: Forgetting the Mevo+ Short Indoor Mode

This one is specific but happens so often it deserves its own mention. The Mevo+ defaults to outdoor mode. If you fire it up indoors without switching to Short Indoor mode, the unit tries to track ball flight that does not exist. The result is garbage spin data and occasional missed shots. The fix: Before every indoor session, open the app, go to Radar Settings, and confirm Short Indoor is selected.

Mistake 7: Not Marking Your Positions

Professional sim centers mark everything. Amateurs trust their memory. After you bump the unit moving a club, you will not remember exactly where it was. The 2-inch shift will produce different data that you will chase for a week before realizing the unit moved. The fix: Masking tape or a sharpie on the mat. Outline the launch monitor feet. Mark the ball position. Mark the alignment stick positions. It takes 30 seconds and saves hours of frustration.

Part 7: When to Call a Professional

Most calibration problems are fixable without help. But a few situations justify paying someone: You have an overhead unit installed and the numbers have never been right. If your TrackMan iO or Uneekor QED was professionally installed but the data has been off since day one, the installation calibration was wrong. A re-calibration visit is cheaper than living with bad data for years. You have inconsistent readings across multiple launch monitors. If your GC3 says 155 carry and your TrackMan says 145 on the same swing from the same ball, one of them is wrong. A calibration specialist with certified reference equipment can tell you which one. You have tried the calibration process three times and the data still jumps around. At some point, the unit may have a hardware problem. Dust on internal lenses, a loose camera mount, or a failing radar transmitter. These require manufacturer service, not recalibration.

The Bottom Line

Calibration is not a one-time event. It is a pre-flight check that you do every time you move the unit, and a periodic sanity check even if you do not move it. The 10-shot consistency test takes five minutes. The alignment verification takes two minutes. Combined, they cost less time than hitting one bucket of range balls, and they save you from building a swing around data that was wrong from the first shot. Your launch monitor is a measurement instrument. Like any instrument, it needs to know where it is before it can tell you what it sees. Take the time to calibrate it correctly, and the data will tell you the truth. Skip the calibration, and the data will lie to you in a way that sounds convincing enough to waste months of practice time. You have been warned.
