The Equations Solved value will remain at zero until the Min Equations measurements (set in the
Configuration screen’s Calibration frame) are available for use. The value then will jump to the
Min Equations setting and increase up to the value set for Max Equations.

Calibration Save
The Calibration frame’s Save button enables advanced users to analyze and visualize the magnetic
calibration by saving the calibration to a tab-delimited ASCII text file that can be opened with a text or
spreadsheet application.
