The resolution may later be changed back to 1 cent, or 0.5 cent increments. Internal accuracy of the Temperament
is always maintained to the precise 0.1 Cent values which have been stored in the memory file. When exiting the
Temperament Menu, the tuner indicates the Enhanced Resolution to denote the accuracy with which the
temperament values are being used by the tuning motor controllers.

NOTE : The SC-5000 tuner powers-up in equal temperament. During the power-up sequence the EQUA file (with the values
for equal temperament) is input to the operating parameters of the tuner with the full precision of 0.1 Cent Resolution.
Accuracy of the strobe discs is always correct to 0.1 Cents, even when the displayed resolution shows Pitch Up/Down
increments of 1 Cent, or 0.5 Cent. The tuner always powers-up with resolution set to 1 Cent increments.
