Apps>Touch Plate Calibration vs "Plate"

Post by Kabbie »

I followed the instructions in the Touch Plate Manual using Apps>Touch Plate Calibration on the pendant. But on the home screen of the pendant on the right hand side, there's a button for "Plate" which appears to take me to the same procedure. I suppose the "Plate" button could be routinely used once initial calibration has been completed, but then I have to ask...what does calibration do exactly? It appears to do nothing more than find the top of the plate, the same thing the Plate button does. So what was the point of calibrating and would you ever need to recalibrate?

For anyone who may be interested, I talked to John with NWA tech support. He said that there's essentially no difference. Apps>Touch Plate Calibration and the Plate button on the pendant perform the same function.
