By importing NLEC data from a computer using the USB-to-Serial

3 X 3 calibration grid.

1: Grid alignment
A Skew alignment is performed to align the
grid perfectly to the X axis.
2: Datum and grid
data points
A zero datum is created at the lower left
corner of the grid. This is the first position
(X=1,Y=1) that will be entered into the
NLEC setup screen.
Other calibration data points to be entered
into the NLEC setup screen are also shown
in the X,Y format (1,1 through 3,3 in this
example).
