Calibration
For most open air applications, the factory-set calibration should be correct.
Variations between the distance measured by the DCU-11 and the actual
distance are caused by environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity,
or chemical atmosphere. These environments can be compensated for by using
a calibration factor which calibrates the reading to match the actual distance.
