channel.calibration.save()
Remarks
Only one card can be calibrated at a time. Therefore, the save function works only on
the currently unlocked card. An error is generated if this command is issued when
calibration is already locked.
The system must receive this command before the
channel.calibration.lock() (on page 13-31) command or the data will be
lost.
This command saves the present values of the calibration constants and calibration
date, and increases the calibration count by 1, regardless of errors in the data. You
should not issue a save command unless the calibration procedure was performed
with no errors. If no calibration date was specified (using
channel.calibration.*date), then the date is auto-generated based on the
system date.
